I couldn’t help but love this read. It’s a great stand-alone cozy sci-fi that I would highly recommend. If you’re a fan of Becky Chambers or Ann Leckie, this will be right up your alley.

I didn’t really know what this was when I started it. I think that’s due to the bargain shelf cover. It should have been a mellow farm scene with a little old lady picking tomatoes, or perhaps she’s in her homey kitchen, kneading dough and baking bread. I kept getting a Ghibli vibe while picturing this story. I looked up the original cover. It is a little on the strange side, but at least it does a better job of conveying some of the story.

A very charming and thoughtful book about first contact through the lens of an older woman who wants to take back control of her life. Throw in plenty of capitalist critique, interesting things to say about language, and the rich internal dialogue of the main character, and you have a very pleasant read
