Abstract

"Enlightenment" is a novel by Sarah Perry that tells the story of Thomas Hart, a gay man living in a small town in Essex in the 1990s. When he is asked to write about astronomy for the local newspaper, Hart becomes a passionate amateur astronomer and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The novel explores themes of love, religion, and the intersection of science and spirituality. It spans decades and incorporates elements of mystery and romance. Perry's book is a beautifully written and compassionate exploration of the human experience. [Extracted from the article]
