@earthspot Let's try again: in my comment I said that I had finally got round to reading the book. And I thought it's a really good book! Definitely recommended! Thank you for having imagined a whole world for us readers...
Aliens and animated dolls in sf are often code for an underprivileged class, ethnicity or gender (c/f the repellent use of 'muppet' for someone with learning difficulties). Interspex is an appeal for tolerance. So it's a shock to have it pointed out that the pic for Tvoul cries out "Japan". Abject apologies--no racism was meant by this. It was meant to portray an ordinary girl--the point was the plastic heads. I'd replace this pic if I could keep the link and view-count, but I can't.
Hi Wildy -- looks like your comment got removed. Dunno why -- what's a book-trailer for if it's not to recommend the book?
PS for moderator: Wildy wrote the music!
