As usual, a great effort by Alastair Reynolds. He gives us a very strong sense of the lives of the mother and child and their very precarious situation. It is stunning that he has not yet received a Hugo or Nebula. I am surprised that I only rated this story "B", but that's what I recorded at the time.

My rating system starts with a rating of one star for a story/novel that I ranked "C -". Ratings move up 1/2 star with each step, up to 5 stars (equivalent to a ranking of A+).
