Another series I'm reading out of order: I've yet to read the second one.This is one of those books that has me in awe of "ordinary" individuals and in despair at the human race as a whole. Mercifully, the book lands firmly on the side of hope.
RW is not religious but I was reminded of something Mother Teresa said about knowing God would never give her bigger challenges than she was able to bear: "but sometimes I wish He didn't trust me so much".
