Summary
 2008. The California desert. A four-year-old boy disappears, plunging his parents into the public hell of a media witch-hunt. But the desert is inexplicable and miraculous, and the family’s fate is bound up with that of all those who have travelled before them through this brutally powerful landscape.
Multilayered and a compulsively readable, Gods Without Men is a heartfelt exploration of our search for pattern and meaning in a random and chaotic universe©2011 Hari Kunzru (P)2011 W F Howes Ltd Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Heartfelt

At first I thought I wasn't going to like this one. It seems random and scattered. The "plot" promised by the blurb doesn't really start until halfway through the book. But as things come together it becomes something really special. It is not a book that ties everything up in a neat package for you. It is a book about the unknown and the unknowable and so it leaves you with more questions than answers.
