This is a real find of a book, unique in spec fic, I think. One thing that the previous reviews don't touch on is that there is a sort of social satire going on just below the surface. The beings she lives with show tendancies to be chauvinistic, ethnocentric and conformist. Take some cues from the main character's views and you'll see what I mean. It's very funny to read it that way!
Best science fiction book I've read

Amazingly imaginative and funny science fiction - I am suprised no one has made a movie yet.
Fabulous!

A silly and gritty space parable of gender difference. Vivid -- the characters and settings stay with me still.BTW, Nancy Bogen is the author, not really the editor. Felice Rothman is the main character from whose perspective the book is written.
