This question contains spoilers…
(view spoiler)[My boyfriend and I are reading Shards of Honor--him for the first time, me for the millionth. I believe Dr. Mehta owes Cordelia an apology. Did she ever get one? What was the reaction on Beta Colony anyway to Cordelia and Aral's marriage? (hide spoiler)]
Lois McMaster Bujold
I don't think Cordelia ever got an apology, but in due course (after several years) her criminal charges got ironed out, so she and her mother could exchange a few visits. And, of course, so that Miles might make his later visits, which he seems to have done unexceptionably except for Bothari's assorted weapons violations.
The general reaction to the marriage was at first imaginatively negative; later, largely forgotten, as such news kerfluffles tend to be. There might have been the occasional article such as American women who marry important foreigners sometimes get, but Cordelia would not have cultivated such. (Someone on-staff might have been managing such PR for her.)

Did Penric ever visit his birth family after his studies and taking up work for the Bastard's Order? Or did any of them manage to visit him? Or did they exchange letters? We know that he learned of the death of his mother, but not much more. Love the novella's and waiting in hope for the next, one of these days.

Question for the Sharing Knife Universe: Are there any 'large' cities in Luthlia, or nothing by small towns the size of Glassforge and the like. I recon Ironforge is easily 15 - 20 thousand people, Glassforge is 5 Thousand. I can't see anything in Luthlia being larger the 5K people, from the carrying capacity (agricultural capacity) of the land. Or is it just small family encampments?
