«The Book of Strange New Things» is the science fiction novel by Michel Faber, published by Hogarth in paperback (528 pages, in English).
Peter, a man of faith, travels to a distant planet to preach to an alien population that calls its Bible «the book of strange new things», far from his wife Bea. Bea's letters recount disasters and the collapse of governments on Earth, while distance tests his faith and love.
