This is a novel about God and his angels. It posits that angels are real, and that God exists. It posits, further, that heavenly beings evolve, and that even God may be subject to change. The ‘evidence’ is partly biblical and partly fictional; the result is an innovative and thought-provoking examination of religion. Written with Knausgaard’s characteristic style – level, patient, and intensely readable – it is a dazzling and innovative examination of the relationships between humans, angels, and God.
