When Margaret is six, she imagines herself a spy, a healer, a queen: and later at crisis points in her life, she feels as if parts of her have split off - the Margaret who followed her lover to Tercis and the Margaret who didn't; the one who's a healer; the one who's a spy.
Mankind's survival depends on all these Margarets - if only they can come together as one, with their powers intact...Sheri Tepper was born in 1929 and started writing in her fifties, since when she has produced dozens of fantasy, SF, horror, thriller and mystery novels.
