4 of 5 stars

Beautifully written dark sci-fi whose social commentary hits you hard and fast. Still as relevant today as it was in 1979. I didn’t care for the ending but I was thinking four stars throughout my entire time reading, with hints of five now and then. Another female writer I knew nothing about and am overjoyed to finally read. I have another of her books in my to-read list and I look forward to it.
