Advantages: Creative, thought-provoking, wonderfully alien and yet human Disadvantages: For the non sci-fi fan: you'll have to trust me!
A gardener at the Autumn House starts to tell us a story?not because he has a role in it, but just because he was there at what might be called a beginning. It's a pleasant introduction?a vaguely oriental setting. Trees and water and family. Home of Seer Taak.
