The novelette is set in the far future of the Hainish universe, lke most of Le Guin's SF.

Spoiler Alert

The story includes vignettes about the very unusual lives on a planet where men and women live utterly apart, (with men in castles and women in villages), except for sex.

A VERY powerful story.

My rating system: I begin with one star being equivalent to a rating of "C -". Progressing upwards, I add ½ star for each step, up to the maximum 5 stars, which is equivalent to a rating of "A"+. I reserve ½ star for BOMBS, there being no option of zero or negative stars.
