![]() ![]() ![]() Despite its position at a galactic crossroad, the planet has remained something of a backwater, governed by a small group of families descended from various noble families in Europe. Most of its surface is covered with numerous species of a genus that resembles the grasses of old Earth. One of the colonized planets is named Grass. Many planets have been colonized but under the influence of humanity’s main religion the expansion has stopped for the moment. In a far future, overpopulation and environmental degradation have forced humanity into space. The novel didn’t quite turn out to be what I was expecting but it is a very good read nonetheless. I have absolutely no experience with Tepper’s writing but the premise looked interesting so this novel was a logical place to start. Tepper is a prolific writer in various genres and this novel is one of the few written by a woman that made the Gollancz science fiction Masterworks series when they were still being numbered. ![]() Tepper’s novel Grass to be my first read. After the reading challenge for 2013 was announced I picked Sheri S. I would be surprised if I could still manage to read the twelve required but I can at least read some of them. I haven’t had time to research and acquire the book I need for it and have mostly been reading stuff that was already on the to read stack this year. Until now that has been a dismal failure. I was hoping to find the time to take part in the WWend Women of Genre Fiction reading challenge this year. ![]()
