Huzzah! A book about the future that isn't distopian! The title of the story "The Gift Moves" is also the central theme, which I found compelling, though maybe a little too bright-eyed. I like the idea of gifts not staying forever with a person, constantly cycling. Not *exactly* communist, more buddhist, perhaps? (more philosophical than political?) Though the characters and dialoge seemed a little one-dimensional and stilted, it was still an enjoyable light read.

Once again, one of those post-apocolyptic books that I seem to gravitate towards. However, I honestly feel as if this one would appeal to a wider audience. To quote Booklist, "Lyons' soulful first novel...projects a civilization returned to a barter-based village culture, structured around a shamanistic religion that borrows more from America's preconquest roots than from sf futurism."

A truly fascinating book set in a very different sort of society. This book shows what two people do to attract the other and how one girl learns to adapt to a different lifestyle. This book is also a book of a girl's journey to let go of her past and live for the future.

Poetic, colorful tale of love and moving on. Dystopic? Depends on your POV.
