Publisher's Synopsis
"The Dazzle of Day is a brilliant and widely celebrated mixture of mainstream literary fiction and science fiction. Award-winning author Molly Gloss turns her attention to the frontiers of the future, when the people of our over-polluted planet Earth voyage out to the stars to settle new worlds, to survive unknown and unpredictable hardships, and to make new human homes. Specifically, it is a story about Quakers, people who have grown up on a ship that is traveling to a new world, and about the society and culture that have evolved among them by the time they arrive at their new home planet"--.
