StoryKeeper reviewed The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
Review of 'The Sparrow' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
Grateful for the fans and librarians who are bringing Ms Russell to my town. I read the book for a discussion. It's a marvelous exploration of burdens accepted for love and the challenges of meeting other people. For me, destroys the extreme of cultural relativism: that is, I accept that there are interdependent systems so that other cultures do things differently, but I also treasure ideals of freedom, scholarship, and nurturing that measure the effects of cultures.
