Benjanun Sriduangkaew. When We Harvested the Nacre-Rice. (Solaris Rising 3)

solaris3Sriduangkaew gets the anthology off to a strong start, with a story focussing on two women and the relationship between them. One is a civilian, part of the ‘unwar’ two planets.

They are keeping the war the from the eyes of the all-power Hegemony, but a visitor who turns up at Pahayal’s house is more than she says, and whilst the two form a bond, that bond is tested by politics and actions..
