A friend of mine refuses to accept that this is a science fiction novel - if it is well plotted, funny and warm, with no talking robots, then how could it be?
Well, it is, there’s no getting around it. I don’t have much to add - except that it was refreshing to read something based on imagination rather than observation. I went for this as a toe-dip into the world of SF - I assumed there must be some good novels in there, but without knowing where to go I played safe with Vonnegut (I bought Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? at the same time - haven’t read that one yet). And yes, this a good novel, and I’m glad I read it. Where to go from here is another question - I’m open to answers.
