Reviews
"A powerful and provocative novel"- The New York Times "Wrought with admirable skill -- the emptiness and menace underlying this Utopia emerge step by inexorable step: a richly provocative novel."- Kirkus , starred review "Lowry is once again in top form raising many questions while answering few, and unwinding a tale fit for the most adventurous readers."- Publishers Weekly , starred review "The simplicity and directness of Lowry's writing force readers to grapple with their own thoughts."- Booklist , starred review "The theme of balancing the values of freedom and security is beautifully presented."- The Horn Book Magazine , starred review, "Wrought with admirable skill -- the emptiness and menace underlying this Utopia emerge step by inexorable step: a richly provocative novel." Kirkus Reviews with Pointers "In a departure from her well-known and favorably regarded realistic works, Lowry has written a fascinating, thoughtful science-fiction novel. The story takes place in a nameless, utopian community, at an unidentified future time. Although life seems perfect -- there is no hunger, no disease, no pollution, no fear -- the reader becomes uneasily aware that all is not well. The story is skillfully written; the air of disquiet is delicately insinuated; and the theme of balancing the values of freedom and security is beautifully presented."
