Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Rapture as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book captured my attention with its gorgeous Australian cover and kept it with its clever representation of religious belief and human nature. I grew to love it as I read it, and by the time the protagonist entered into adulthood, I was completely hooked.

From Tara's list on fresh interpretations of religious communities.
