A fascinating and seemingly forgotten book. I never would have found it without my book club. It’s dated in it’s SF tech, but the wonderful prose, world-building, and mosaic structure made it a really great read.

There was no real reason for me to like this book. I like fast-paced and action-packed. This is slow, soft, and character-focused. ...and yet I couldn't stop reading. And when I was done, I couldn't make myself put it in the donation pile, either.
