A story set in the far future in the Hainish universe, which includes most of her SF. Features various planets,

Spoiler Alert

The story also features time travel.

Story has an overwhelming sense of "home." This story has first person narration. Hideo describes idyllic rural life of his youth, then leaving the woman he loves & everything else to become a physicist on planet Hain, etc. "Churten" Time travel accident lets him re-choose the path his life will take.

My rating system: I begin with one star being equivalent to a rating of "C -". Progressing upwards, I add ½ star for each step, up to the maximum 5 stars, which is equivalent to a rating of "A"+. I reserve ½ star for BOMBS, there being no option of zero or negative stars.
