    <body><![CDATA[This book is very imaginative, although a bit dated at times.  Marge Piercy is a unique writer, in that she is very good at writing complex characters with strengths and flaws.  Similiarly, her Utopian Society of the future has had to sacrifice some things that are extremely important to Connie (or ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2982019">more...</a>]]></body>
