Le Guin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor forty years, Colony 3245.12 has been Ofelia’s home. On this planet far away in   space and time from the world of her youth, she has lived and loved, weathered the   death of her husband, raised her one surviving child, lovingly tended her garden,   and grown placidly old. And it is here that she fully expects to finish out her days—until   the shifting corporate fortunes of the Sims Bancorp Company dictates that Colony   3245.12 is to be disbanded, its residents shipped off, deep in cryo-sleep, to somewhere   new and strange and not of their choosing. But while her fellow colonists grudgingly   anticipate a difficult readjustment on some distant world, Ofelia savors the promise   of a golden opportunity. Not starting over in the hurly-burly of a new community   . . . but closing out her life in blissful solitude, in the place she has no intention   of leaving. A population of one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With everything she needs to sustain her, and her   independent spirit to buoy her, Ofelia actually does start life over–for the first   time on her own terms: free of the demands, the judgments, and the petty tyrannies   of others. But when a reconnaissance ship returns to her idyllic domain, and its   crew is mysteriously slaughtered, Ofelia realizes she is not the sole inhabitant   of her paradise after all. And, when the inevitable time of first contact finally   arrives, she will find her life changed yet again—in ways she could never have imagined.   . . .\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Pure satisfaction from cover to cover.\u003cb\u003e”—Anne McCaffrey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Moon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":46886713753812,"sku":"9780345462190","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_9b84937c-c35d-4f99-9500-d10537dee1cd.jpg?v=1757367736","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780345462190","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
