An interesting fantasy that makes you think about what it might be like to live in a world that was perfect, but offers no freedom for choices or will.
This is her best known, and really one of her best works. It's called The Ring Finger in English, I think. People who preserve memories of traumatic events as souvenirs.
Really made me think... I am thankful every day that I do not live in a country that is being bombed. I am horrified that we -- the people on this planet -- continue to do this to one another. A short book with fully formed characters and vivid images.
