Solomon's impassioned, speculative, literary book is sorely needed on library shelves.`` -- Booklist ``The HSS Matilda is a generation ship organized much like the antebellum South. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer and sowing the seeds of civil war, sharecropper Aster learns there may be a way off the ship if she's willing to fight for it.`` -- Publishers Weekly; included in Fall 2017 Adult Announcements, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror ``With An Unkindness of Ghosts, Rivers Solomon inarguably shows themselves to be a literary child of genre leader Octavia E. Butler...Suffused with the past, the present, and the future of human experiences in its events, An Unkindness of Ghosts launches the career of a brilliantly gifted and important new writer in science fiction.`` -- Foreword Reviews , Starred Review ``Immediately immersive and sophisticated...This is a phenomenal piece of work.`` -- Lee Child , author of the Jack Reacher series `` An Unkindness of Ghosts marks the debut of a wildly talented writer.
