Helpful Score: 5

This was a very enjoyable novel. The story is basically a character study of an old man suddenly blessed with youth while his wife of sixty years is still left an old woman. Interwoven with this is the story of messages from another star, and the impact that message has.

I was very very drawn to the protagonist, in particular, because I identify with him strongly. I'm a young widower; I have myself been young and energetic while I watched my wife wither and die, so the parallels are quite strong. I'm sure this unlikely background is why I love the book so much, so I'll just leave this review at that. For me: 5/5.
