![]() ![]() ![]() Aster lives on the low-decks of HSS Matilda, a spaceship that is full to the brim with the last members of humanity, in search of the Promised Land. Because of this, she is withdrawn and has few friends, taking comfort in plain stated truths and verbal abuse by virtually everyone. She is incredibly intelligent, but struggles to figure out how to interact with society and people. SummaryĪster has always been an outsider. It is refreshing and, beyond anything, hopeful, to see this book interrogate these issues in the newly published science fiction world. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I was reading the summary, but the diversity, discussion of race and gender, and characters are stunning. ![]() An Unkindness of Ghosts absolutely blew me away. ![]()

When we meet for coffee in Carlton, her six-month-old baby is strapped to her chest – Pung’s third child but first daughter. (“I got the advantages – she made all the great food, but I didn’t have to be trapped for a whole month at home,” Pung remembers.) Pung’s own mother wanted to impose the confinement tradition for the author’s first pregnancy, she says – but the baby was premature, so she had to go to hospital daily. The book is written from Karuna’s quietly furious perspective, addressed to the baby growing within her as she feels her own life vanishing before her. Yearning for an escape from her suburban isolation, the teenager loses herself in Walt Whitman’s poetry and copies of Reader’s Digest. ![]() ![]() ![]() Title: Not Quite White Item Condition: used item in a very good condition.
