** spoiler alert ** Story of Tan-Tan, a girl from the terraformed world of Toussaint, whose father carries her into transdimensional exile with him after he commits a crime. Written in a mix of English and Anglopatwa, with a thematically-related "'Nansi story" at the beginning of each section. Pro: Really well-written, overall. The patwa made it hard for me to read, of course, but I enjoyed it once I got used to it. Everything was really well described, and I loved the 'Nansi stories. I also thought the dynamic between the prison colonists and New Half-Way Tree's native douen people was interesting: it had obviously deliberate echoes of colonial racism. Con: I thought Antonio's character shift was way too sharp-- even the explanation that the trip up the Half-Way Tree "changed him" wasn't sufficient for me. I had the impression that the story had changed as it was being written, but that Hopkinson didn't edit the earlier part to reflect that. (In the first pages, for example, Antonio is torn up because his wife and his "best friend," Quashee, are having an affair. Within a few dozen pages Quashee has become just one in a long succession of younger men Ione's been seeing, and not Antonio's "best friend" at all.) I also thought that the alien life on New Half-Way Tree was way too recognizable to be convincing. (Bipedal reptiles? Really?) Neutral, but important: The Goodreads blurb is misleading. This is not a fantastic adventure about a bandit queen on an alien planet. It's a story about rape and incest and the survivor's emotional journey. It's an important story, but not at all the one I thought I'd be reading. Four stars for writing quality and concept, but I have to confess that I only skimmed the last third of the book.
