Richard L. reviewed on 5/20/2010

I read Antieau's incredibly moving Church of the Old Mermaids and decided to try this one out. The first portion feels like Ursula LeGuin's Always Coming Home--post-apocalyptic, post-technological neoPaganism in the state of what was Arizona. About half-way through, via a flashback, it becomes Gibson's Mona Lisa Overdrive. My only quibble is, as with Mermaids, sometimes the romantic interactions between the heroine and her various men seems a little forced or hard for me to relate to. But if you're a fan of post-apocalyptic or cyperpunk novels, you may wish to try this one.
