An engaging allegory

Painter Ewan Jones is on the deck of his sailboat one evening when he sees a shining emerald-green light fall from the nearby cliff. This sets him and his girlfriend, Sally, on a quest for a way onto the shore and up the rock. The book is an allegory of a person's search for meaning in life. Similar to A Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, this book is primarily concerned with a person's life before they enter the gate.As a novel this is well written and very engaging. It does not read as an allegory even once you realise that he has found his maker after entering a crucifix shaped hole in the rock. Their encounters with the various lifestyles of our age are also well written. Not condemning them, but giving Ewan a reason to look for truth somewhere else and to continue the search.
