Helpful Score: 2
Nicola Griffith has a very descriptive way of writing. This story, set on the planet JEEP, tells of a virus that kills the men and almost all the women, leaving a female socieity. Anthropologist Marghe Taishan wants to discover the society evolved and discovers that she too is changing. I enjoyed seeing a female culture that wasn't glorified or had all the problems solved. There were the good individuals, the bad individuals and all the mix inbetween and everyone, the natives and the company employes and forces are on parallel journeys of self-exploration. Griffith makes a very real society; her description puts you in the middle of it, feeling it, tasting it.
