![]() ![]() ![]() They wish to preserve their cherished way of life but come to discover that in order to preserve their culture, they may have to change it forever. The Best of All Possible Worlds is a stunning science fiction epic that is also a beautifully wrought, deeply moving love story.Ī proud and reserved alien society finds its homeland destroyed in an unprovoked act of aggression, and the survivors have no choice but to reach out to the indigenous humanoids of their adopted world, to whom they are distantly related. Now Lord returns with a second novel that exceeds the promise of her first. Le Guin, Lord does indeed belong in such select company-yet, like them, she boldly blazes her own trail.

Karen Lord’s debut novel, the multiple-award-winning Redemption in Indigo, announced the appearance of a major new talent-a strong, brilliantly innovative voice fusing Caribbean storytelling traditions and speculative fiction with subversive wit and incisive intellect. ![]()
