I just finished Enlightenment and I give it ☄☄☄☄.
Perry wrote 'The Essex Serpent' and if you liked that book you'll like this one, but it is a bit of an odd read. In modern day Essex, newspaper reporter Thomas is living a dull and unhappy life. He attends church at a conservative place called Bethesda, where he befriends Grace, the daughter of a very conservative man. The story involves (to some degree) how Thomas discovers the story of a woman who discovered a comet, but it also is a story of how we discover who we are and what we want to be. It's a thick story that may put off a lot of people--there's science, and there's religion, and there's some very descriptive writing--but I liked it.
