It begins in the realm of the Real, where matter still matters. Lededje Y'breq is one of the Intagliated, her marked body bearing witness to a family shame, her life belonging to a man whose lust for power is without limit. Prepared to risk everything for her freedom, her release, when it comes, is at a price, and to put things right she will need the help of the Culture. It begins in the realm of the Real. It begins with a murder. And it will not end until the Culture has gone to war with death itself.

#bookspin - and my favourite novel in the Culture series to date (and there‘s only one left!) Brilliant characters, some great twists and turns in the broader, political story, and very entertaining Minds & Ships as always!

1️⃣ The future. I work on the past. It all sucked. All of it. Believe me. I know!
2️⃣ Now, Norway, Japan. I'd like to move back to Paris. In the past? No thanks. I'm a woman. There is not place or time in the past that I could have liked, because it would not have liked me. Also, no antibiotics.
3️⃣ Tagged

bookandcat I feel you on the no antibiotics/women's rights thing! Your mention of Japan is making me want to go back and finish A Tale for the Time Being 7y
