Customer Reviews

Beautiful and Moving

A beautiful, dark fantasy about humanity and perception. Thompson has created a world that is at once uncomfortable and uplifting. Rarely has a writer created such fascinating characters who are both familiar and strange. Highly recommended!

Moving, Disturbing, Enlightening, Touching

This book moved me greatly; a story of society's deformed children in their innocent world and the clash when two of them realize there is more "out there." If you have the opportunity to read this book, don't miss it!

Imaginative, evocotive story of an alternative society

A highly imaginative novel, which initially draws the reader into it's reality, and then reveals the larger picture. It is told from the perspective of 2 main characters, and moves gracefully between their worlds, and world knowledge. Good, solid, sf with a moral imperative.
