8 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
In her thirty-fifth novel a majestic epic rich with beauty and wonder science fiction legend Sheri S. Tepper boldly weaves together the storylines of eleven of her previous works, from King's Blood Four (1983) to The Waters Rising (2010).In Fish Tails, two of Tepper's beloved characters Abasio the Dyer and his royal wife, Xulai are traveling through the scattered villages of the sparsely populated land of Tingawa. Accompanied by their young children, they seek to warn everyone of the dire ecological changes that will alter their lives and those of their children for generations to come.The waters are rising, and will eventually inundate their world. Many of those born in the coming century will resemble their son and daughter sea children who can live without land. Abasio and Xulai hope to find others interested in adopting their sea-dwelling lifestyle. Because before too long, there will be no other choice. A grand summation of a long and illustrious career, Fish Tails displays the extraordinary powers of invention of one of the great voices in contemporary science fiction. Sweeping in scope and vision, full of insights for our own time, it is a masterpiece of imagination, the capstone to a marvelous oeuvre."

It took me longer to read this book than the 11 that came before it. It‘s the last book Tepper wrote before dying, and I wanted to savor it. It‘s the only ecological dystopian book I‘ve ever read that had any hope in it, and I loved it. Start with Marvin Manyshaped, I promise you‘ll love it 🧡📖

Who doesn‘t love getting a care package from Mom? She makes amazing lotion bars- this one is Lemongrass. If I had all the time in the world, I could never be as creative and crafty as she is 💝

Woah. So I crack open my new book and this gem falls out! Apparently, Rush Limbaugh has written a bunch of children‘s books where he envisions himself in the role of Paul Revere!!! I‘m simultaneously laughing and completely horrified.

Please ignore the cat hair on the arm of my chair. It‘s her favorite spot.

At last! The whole reason for embarking on this Tepper odyssey- a $5 chance discovery in a used book store. The last book she wrote. It ties 11 other books together, and I cannot WAIT to dig in!
