3.0 out of 5 stars religious book, April 3, 2009

This review is from: Henry and Cato (Mass Market Paperback)

A very religious novel. It deals on redemption threefoldly defined as healing of memory, detachment and the will to love. A fine piece of narrative for a philosophical discourse on the need for salvation and the complicated dynamic that weaves the tapestry redemption as a human exigency.
