Between Mountain and Sea: Paradisi Chronicles by M. Louisa Locke
5.0
Feminist Anthropological Speculative Fiction
This book lives in the same neighborhood as Le Guin and Butler, science fiction through the lens of both the individual and the family. Mei Lin is coming of age on the planet her family helped found nearly 200 years ago. Botched eye surgery sends her to the mountain that her line of the family had settled. She discovers another world, different from the high tech city she left. Here she finds self and family in the footsteps of the strong women who came before her.
