This book is about beliefs, difference, acceptance, and life.
It felt to me like a soft reflexion more than a real story, as the plot is simple: it retraces the steps of an alien on earth, from birth to death, and the people who met him.
The setting (mid 19th century US) is uncommon for an alien encounter.
The rythm is slow but quite enjoyable and I enjoyed the experience, even if it’s different from my usual reads.
I recommend this book, it was a nice change.
Not necessarily worth a second read, but nice enough.
