Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Candle in a Bottle: A Novella (Conversation Pieces, Volume 13) (Paperback)
Carolyn Ives Gilman also wrote Halfway Human, another extremely good anthropological sf novel. Compared to a full size novel, Candle in a Bottle felt kind of short. But apart from that it's a great read.Dominique and his brother Gabriel are travelling to the Institut Sorel in the far future to see the Oracle and ask questions. Once there, Dominique is pressured into staying, then thrust into a web of intrigue involving senile rinpoches, scholars with secrets, a mad apprentice, and professors' love-lives. For no reason he understands, no one will tell him anything, and he has to figure out what's going on. The only thing he knows is the fate of the pattern of civilisation depends upon his findings. |
