Motherlands #4

[laughing_tree]

I quickly realized I was unconsciously trying to do something sly: telling a poignant story about a strained parent/child relationship but disguising it as my favorite sort of insane, anything-goes Eurocentric sci-fi. The two halves of that equation are quite neatly balanced within the idea that kicked it all off, which - I’m proud to say - bridges theme, character and setting. But, alas, I can’t say much about it, because it really is a doozy of a twist. -- Si Spurrier

I'm really engaged in this series

I'm actually really digging this series.

For a while I was wondering if Slphhad erased more than just those couple weeks - if she'd also erased some of hte more unpleasant memories of her and her daughter. But - she might just be one of those real self absorbed folks - no sci fi needed.

Or alternatively, she'd erased some of the good memories that made her feel guilty.
