5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book, 9 Feb 2003
I really loved this book. The socio-historical detail is fascinating and indispensible, providing unique insight. The telling of the story is sensitive, fastidious in it's attention to detail and suberbly balanced between rigorously researched fact and creative interpretation.

The story and characters are masterfully brought back to life. The debate between science and religion is so skillfully centred on such a poignant subject, you can't help but be moved by the eventual outcome and incensed by the indifference of those whose careers were more important to them than the life of a child, people for whom being right was far less of a concern than being proved right.
