This was a real slog of a book. It was a very long slice of life book about a tortured but brilliant scientist and her college friends over a period of about twenty years or so. It wasn't classic science fiction; it was general fiction with a little science thrown in. Her devotion to science was the reason why her life and relationships were so bad. However, like a good Brit, she had a stiff upper lip, living in a lot of denial and repression, not dealing with the issues in her life until it all comes to a head at the end. I didn't like it, but it did win a Philip K. Dick Award and was nominated for the Otherwise Award.
