Blurb: “Tepper is a wide and subtle artist. She manages things in Grass with consummate skill that other writers are well advised not to attempt." —The Washington Post Book World
"Grass offers a subtle, complex meditation on ecological disaster. Her rich narrative has provocative and well-balanced things to say... the worlds are magnificently imagined." -USA Today
Here is a novel as original as the breathtaking, unspoiled world for which it is named, a place where all appears to be in idyllic balance.
Generations ago, humans fled to the cosmic anomaly known as Grass. Over time, they evolved a new and intricate society. But before humanity arrived another species had already claimed Grass for its own. It, too, had developed a culture....
Now, a deadly plague is spreading across the stars.
No world save Grass has been left untouched.
Marjorie Westriding Yrarier has been sent from Earth to discover the secret of the planet's immunity. Amid the alien social structure and strange life-forms of Grass, Lady Westriding unravels the planet's mysteries to find a truth so shattering it could mean the end of life itself.
Written with the sureness of voice and piercing vision that have made Sheri S. Tepper one of the most respected writers in the field, Grass is a feat of world-building seldom seen in contemporary science fiction.”
