About this product

Product Information

The Margarets marks the long-awaited return of one of the most respected authors in the sf community; a writer who has earned accolades and the admiration of every true aficionado of bold, brilliant, risk-taking speculative fiction. Sheri S. Tepper dazzles yet again with a powerful tale of ingenious survival and strange destiny. The only human child living in a human work colony on the Martian satellite Phobos, little Margaret Bain has devised a system for keeping the suffocating demons of boredom and loneliness at bay: She invents six imaginary companions, each an extension of her own personality, to play with. When the unproductive Phobos project is shut down, and after Margaret is forced to return to Earth with her parents, the child's other selves are lost to her. But they are not gone. Left behind, each one flourishes--refining its own persona, acquiring its own history--before ultimately dispersing to far-flung destinations throughout the universe. On a near-barren homeworld denuded by thoughtless-ness and chemistry, Margaret grows to adulthood and marries, despite the seemingly utter hopelessness of humanity's future. The Earth is so impoverished that its inhabitants must import water and other basic necessities of life--trading the only viable product the planet has left to offer . . . slaves . The time will come when Margaret must leave this world as well, expelled as part of a desperate survival plan millennia in the making--an astonishing scheme that will require her to gather together the many Margarets who are now scattered throughout the galaxy. The creator of the Margarets must now bring all her selves home . . . or watch her race perish.

    Perfect for the subject matter.

    This may be the best book Ms. Tepper has ever written. It is very complex, extremely engaging, spell binding actually, and it's topic is timeless. If more folks could see through Ms. Tepper's eyes, the world would be a lot nicer place to live in. Ms Tepper may be the finest social commentator of our time.
