Oh why didn’t I discover Ursula before I overdosed of sci-fi trilogy’s in my teens. I’m sure it’s that her work has been rehashed badly for years but just too familiar. Found I lost interest. Feeling betrayed by youthful poor taste.

So much newness, each time I feel lost or as if I've missed the point, it all becomes clear without feeling forced or contrived. So beautiful. Only half way but had to remind myself how wrapt I am.

Did not finish. Came off as Virgin Suicides set in Australia without the suicide.

This book is wonderful. Wonderful in its message. Wonderful in its knowledge. Wonderful in its shear storytelling. I'm not finished but I'm so lucky to be reading couldn't help but offer thanks.

Hiding it away for April trip Douth so can lazily immerse self over several days. Then woe betide any man, woman or child who gets betwixt me and my Winton.
