"A triumph of the imagination. Rich, complex, impossible to put down."
Alice Hoffman In the middle of the twenty-first century, life as we know it has changed for all time. Shira Shipman's marriage has broken up, and her young son has been taken from her by the corporation that runs her zone, so she has returned to Tikva, the Jewish free town where she grew up. There, she is welcomed by Malkah, the brilliant grandmother who raised her, and meets an extraordinary man who is not a man at all, but a unique cyborg implanted with intelligence, emotions--and the ability to kill....
From the imagination of Marge Piercy comes yet another stunning novel of morality and courage, a bold adventure of women, men, and the world of tomorrow.
The author of Gone to Soldiers presents a futuristic, feministic novel in the vein of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. In the 21st century, environmental disasters have ravaged the planet's resources and divided the world into corporate enclaves. Her young son taken from her by the corporation, a woman returns to the place where she grew up and meets a unique cyborg, implanted with intelligence, emotions--and the ability to kill.
