Publisher Comments:

Marleys first collection includes ten science fiction and fantasy stories, most with a feminist take. Due to Marleys background as a concert opera singer, many stories have music at their heart.

Absalom's Mother renewed my interest in the Short Story. Louise Marley's characters develops the stories with surprising punch and grace of style. The title story sets Marley as one of the best Science Fiction female writers.
"P Dolce" also proves that she is also capable of writing period pieces. "Body and Blood" proves that Marley is equally adept of handling sensitive religious subjects.

My only disappointment with this collection was that there were not more stories. Now I'm off to reread "The Terrorists of Irustan" and "The Glass Harmonica". Louise Marley definitely deserves to be in the top ranks with Ursula Le Guin and Vonda McIntyre.
