Devotion

Barber, Ros, 1964-, author2015

Summary

Only nineteen, April is an elective mute, accused of a religiously motivated atrocity. Logan, a borderline-suicidal criminal psychologist, must assess her sanity in a world where - ten years after the death of Richard Dawkins - moves have been made to classify religious fundamentalism as a form of mental illness. Asking fundamental questions about the nature of reality, Barber skilfully explores the balance between the emotional and rational sides of human experience.
