Review
"The lovely, layered worlds Vonarburg presents are like a shifting kaleidoscope wrought of dream and the very human urge to journey towards reality’s core. The book lives in details, slowly, richly ... worth the reading and deeply science-fictional." - Kathleen Ann Goonan, New York Review of Science Fiction -
