This story has to be the most original concept I have ever read. A human astronaut has landed on a planet with a sentient forest. Now, don’t switch off at the thought of this – it is so well written I found it intriguing and fascinating. The story isn’t entirely based in the forest. Our main human character moves through a number of different societies experiencing the positive and negative parts of each. She explores the spirituality of each group and leading to her to examine her own spirituality.

The book manages to combine Science fiction with a little mythology and a touch of “moral-message” to make an excellent, well-balanced story. This author certainly has an original imagination!
