This was a surreal novella about colonization, segregation, and loss of culture. It had beautiful language but often it got in the way of understanding what was going on. I understood the beginning pretty well, but then it went some really strange places. It also prevented me from really identifying with the main character, who was also the narrator. Still, I could feel the gravity of the plot and understood the terror and despair of characters. This book was nominated for a 2021 Lambda Literary Award for SF/Fantasy/Horror.
