Candas Jane Dorsey
An old woman hangs in a cage; a young woman slaves on a rich lord's estate. How does a woman discover and assert her identity in a primeval, barbaric world? From slave dens to merchant cities to isolated mountains, Candas Jane Dorsey's first novel is a powerful exploration of gender, identity, and freedom. Winner of James Tiptree, Jr. Award, Crawford Award, Prix Aurora Award. As brilliant as William Gibson, as complex as Gene Wolfe, with a humanity and passion all her own. Candas Jane Dorsey isn't just a comer, she's a winner. -Ursula K. Le Guin In terms of technique alone, Black Wine is one of the most sophisticated literary SF novels....Black Wine lives in its passionate prose and startling imagery....A rewarding and moving novel. -Locus

"Honestly not what I was expecting but so well thought out. So many plot lines come together perfectly! there was a lot of sex scenes in this book which I was not expecting just from reading the description. There’s incest, slaves, corrupt monarchs and lots of gay relations. Very interesting read, overall the story was very good but surprisingly raunchy (not like a 50 shades kind of way)"
