About This Item
New York:: EOS / Avon,, (1998). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a like dustjacket.. First printing. A thoughtful novel by this Tiptree, Lambda and Hugo award-winning author - "Janna's world was colonized long ago by Earth and then left on its own for centuries. When "offworlders" return, their superior technology upsets the balance of a developing civilization. [This book] follows the journeys of Janna after she and her young partner escape marauders who attack their hometown. . . . Janna uses her meager skills to eke out a living in a changing world; she gains and loses a husband, a child, friends, jobs, and more. McHugh weaves together anthropology, sociology, psychology, and gender relations in this wondrous journey. Janna assumes the guise of a boy for protection, but eventually becomes "Jan" to herself as well as others." 385 pp.
