I picked this up for $2 from a stack of dozens of 80s scifi novels, more as a purchase to memorialize stumbling upon a neat little bookstore on a holiday than to actually read, expecting wacky and tacky content similar to "A Princess of Mars" - though perhaps with less sexism thanks to its woman author (a main reason for choosing this over the others at the shop). Imagine my delight and surprise when I delved into an intriguing, emotional story told in poignant, poetic diction: a tale of letting go of guilt and masculine entitlement, of accepting the wonderful and the awful together because life is formed of contradictions. Genuinely interesting, and beautifully told.
