Where do you run when a world is out to get you? AIs, Forged beings, superheroes, angels, and worlds that change in the blink of an eye - here is a richly imagined tale of ordinary redemption in an extraordinary world from one of the most provocative writers working today....

Francine is a young runaway looking to find a definition of love she can trust. In Sankhara, she finds a palace where rooms are made of bone, flowers, and the hearts of heroes. She finds a scientist mapping the territory of the human mind. She finds a boyfriend. And she finds Eros itself - incarnated in the androgynously irresistible form of Jalaeka.

But not everyone is in love with the god of love. Unity, for one, wants to assimilate Jalaeka along with every other soul in the universe. And contrary to what everyone always believes, love alone can’t save the day. It will take something both more and less powerful than the human heart to save the worlds upon worlds at risk when gods collide.

Wish I lived next door to the god of love

I love Justina Robson'so novelso. She has so many ideas that will be true soon e.g., creating buildings from nanobots. The heroine of the story removes her interface/tracking system to disappear. People are already implanting RFID chips in their hands. Robson'so ideas will be actualized very soon. She hasn't written a bad book and I'm trying to ensure I have them all. I've already read this book 3 times and looking forward to the next time.

Imaginative and unpredictable

I greatly enjoyed this book and the way it stretched my imagination and visual interpretations in my mind. I would recommend to those who like a mixture of science fiction and fantasy.

Intelligent, unique, even haunting

Reviewed in the United States on 21 October 2007

I'm a huge sci-fi fan -- and strict too, no horror except lovecraft, and no fantasy except in weak moments -- and I loved this book.

Ms Robson's previous novel, Natural History, was one of the most haunting science fiction I have read in years. I just couldn't get the creepy techno-erotic story of longing, loneliness and difficult choices out of my mind for months. This novel takes those themes and expands on them in a most interesting, engaging, and intelligent manner.

If you like reading completely original visions of the future -- you know, the kind where your mind is racing most of the time to try and figure out what's going on, because the backstory is only given in small organic pieces of the story -- you should pick up this and other books by this author.

challenging

Tough book to read, but full of interesting ideas, and performed with an overload of style. Falls apart a bit towards the end, but overall a complex, challenging and entertaining piece of writing. We want more like it!

Justina is an amazing writer, gets you sucked in and doesn't want to let you go.
