This is definitely a writer to watch. I first encountered her in "Accessing the future" an anthology of sci-fi/disability lit, and I wanted to read more by her. This book of stories did not disappoint.
I especially enjoyed "Wind will rove," a story on the premise of one of the subplots of Cloud Cuckoo Land --a spaceship carrying generations of people headed to another planet, generations that didn't expect to survive to see the new planet, nor had they seen Earth...
I also loved "And then there were (N)one," a meditation on multiple parallel realities...super confusing but also very interesting for a heady brain and a person who isn't sure about her relationship to herself and her past and who has a hard time making decisions...
Title story, just ok.
I find her imagination really interesting, and the writing is very smooth, very well executed, like pebbles well worn by the sea...you don't get jarred by things popping you out of the story, everything fits with everything else.
And from the acknowledgements page: she knows both Lily Yu and Karen Joy Fowler?! ... jealous!! (Me)
