This novel really is brilliant. Utterly amazing. It's an incredible book in this era of racism, when multiculturalism can be frowned upon by those closed minded enough to not understand that other people have the right to exist. Looking at the steady position of standing still and letting the waves hit, not fighting against the tide, the utter power of what that can do, the real meaning of what strength is.
There have been several books this year that have hit me hard in both the gut and the heart, and this has been one of them. For the better of everyone, this is a book that needs to be read more. With comedy, wisdom, kindness, education, love, truth, and importance of doing the right thing, even when the rest of the world is saying stop, "This Green and Pleasant Land" hits at the heart at so many matters.
