The writing is beautiful, easy to read and follow. The first half was slow it then picked up speed but as I hit the last quarter or so of the book - I kept expecting/hoping for an unexpected turn - and in that lies my rating, more than a story, its the observation of Klara into Josie's life that is the protagonist of the story.

The sci-fi components are just backdrops, as faith and the supernatural is what it end up delivering. Technologies admiring natural entities such as the sun as gods and as a result, faith in the Sun.
