Excellent exploration of evangelical mission work in Ecuador. Focusing on the women who were married or associated with the five missionary men killed by the Huaorani. Thomas who is very familiar with that evangelical world treats the evangelical crew with compassion while not letting the reader forget about the wrong-headedness of the the evangelical mission and the negative impact such missions had on the Huaorani and other Indigenous communities in the area. I wouldn't be unhappy if this one won the GG.
