Oh the joy of being in the arms of a writer who can truly write -- the delight of well-crafted sentences and well-chosen words. I love her ability to tell a meandering, almost mundane, yet mysterious tale of a journey towards adulthood. This layered tale is simultaneously one of coming-to-age, of discovering, through lots of trial and error, one's vocation, yet also an-oh-so-subtle tale of gender with hints of the effects of inequity, and also a straight science-fiction tale of traveling technology, with never too much time spent on the actual tech to interfere with the fun. This is lovely!
