Although the primary plot is the exploration of a human missionary to an alien world, there are many layers here, strengthened by Faber's immersive storytelling: the foundering of a codependent relationship; the exploitation of a capitalist venture on an unspoiled landscape; the power of belief to assuage the fear of existential insignificance. I enjoy this book more with each re-read.
