The Sadiri were once the galaxy's ruling élite, but now their home planet has been rendered unlivable and most of the population destroyed. The few groups living on other worlds are desperately short of Sadiri women, and their extinction is all but certain. Civil servant Grace Delarua is assigned to work with Councillor Dllenahkh, a Sadiri, on his mission to visit distant communities, looking for possible mates. Delarua is impulsive, garrulous and fully immersed in the single life; Dllenahkh is controlled, taciturn and responsible for keeping his community together. They both have a lot to learn.

Eu fiquei bastante surpresa com este livro, que me lembrou muito um outro livro, do qual gosto muito, "A mão esquerda da escuridão", de Ursula K. Le Guin, embora eu não saiba bem dizer porque. Sei que gostei bastante da narrativa, daria excelentes discussões sobre questões de gênero, intolerância, preconceitos, e várias outras questões. Muito bom.
