Yearning and pity. That deep, gnawing feeling down in the pit of your stomach that carves you open. That's what I felt when reading this. Lovely characters; beautiful, raw, real writing. I put off pooping to finish reading this.
Great short read, profound at times and easy-going in others. This was my first time reading Chambers and I really enjoyed her writing style!
It is a paradox - the impossibility of reclaiming that which lies behind, housed within a form comprised entirely of the repurposed pieces of that same past. We exist where we begin, yet to remain there is death.

Interesting read that made me think of The Martian and the world(s) within The Murderbot Diaries. Pretty quick pace but still with thought-provoking ideas and concepts.

Au tournant du 22e siècle, quatre explorateurs sont envoyés dans l’espace pour étudier d’autres planètes. Au fil des années, l’équipage explore quatre mondes inconnus, dans un esprit écologique en tâchant toujours de laisser le moins de traces possible de leurs passages. Ce très beau roman est le récit de ce voyage dans l’inconnu et dans le temps, des merveilles et des dangers inattendus que rencontrent les personnages, et de leur désir insatiable de nouvelles découvertes, même quand le reste de l’humanité semble les avoir laissés à eux-mêmes. Comme à son habitude, Becky Chambers brille tant par la subtilité de sa narration que par l’intelligence de ses univers et la bienveillance de ses protagonistes. Concernant ces derniers, on apprécie leurs identités diverses (un personnage transgenre, un autre asexuel et la plupart bisexuel.les) sans que cela ne soit un sujet.
