With Octavia butler, being my absolute favorite author, this is my absolute favorite book written by her. I love the world building. She creates how she can make you simultaneously love and hate the same character. The sadness and desperation, her writing evokes. This book had everything. it put on display all of humanity‘s faults. But also had hope.
