What a treat. I am such a fan of Katherine Addison's novels, so I was eagerly anticipating this story, and it did not disappoint. One of the things that appeals to me about her novels is the way she has built a (rich and fascinating) world that has many unkind hierarchies, and then she layers in compassion, resistance, and interconnectedness through brightly-drawn individuals. It's wonderful to see that brought into a quite short form, compared to lengthy and wonderfully slow-developing novels.

I thoroughly enjoyed this! The intense earnest quietness, a story that's about navigating a world vs changing it...
