註釋
A “highly imaginative and utterly exhilarating” (
Thrillist
) debut that is “the best of what science fiction can be: a thought-provoking, heartrending story about the choices that define our lives” (
Kirkus Reviews
, Best Debut Fiction and Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of the Year)
.
FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
TORDOTCOM
AND
KIRKUS REVIEWS
A mysterious child lands in the care of a solitary woman, changing both of their lives forever.
I expected many things from this trip.
I did not expect a family.
A ship captain, unfettered from time. A mute child, burdened with unimaginable power. A millennia-old woman, haunted by lifetimes of mistakes. In this captivating debut of connection across space and time, these outsiders will find in each other the things they lack: a place of love and belonging. A safe haven. A new beginning.
But the past hungers for them, and when it catches up, it threatens to tear this makeshift family apart.

The Vanished Birds
