arthur-c-clarke/the-songs-of-distant-earth reviews A future human settlement gets visited by the last travellers from the doomed planet earth, on their way to their final destination, a new earth. Very calm, slow, slightly utopian. I'm not really sure what to make of this book. On the one hand, it was utterly lovely: The calm, nearly slice-of-life story of the surviving members of the human race. Touching, simple, optimistic, … sweet? At the same time, the lack of tension made me take a long time reading this book, and the parts that were interesting to me (the other planet! the ALIEN LIFE!) were only mentioned in passing. Weirdly frustrating for such a nice and optimistic book. 2020-01-24 The Songs of Distant Earth #59729b 0007115865 9780007115860       1986 http://covers.openlibrary.org/b/isbn/9780007115860-L.jpg 256   3
