This is beautifully written and flawlessly narrated.

The presence of the humans is disquieting. I can't see how this is going to end but most of the outcomes are upsetting.

This is a joy to listen to. The main character is so deeply imagined She anchors the story so that her humanity and her eccentricities provide a scale against which the aliens can be measured.

The story telling is unhurried but remains compelling. The details of her life alone and her encounters with the aliens build into an immersive story that feels real and relatable.

I love the tone of the storytelling: unrushed, deeply observant, aware of things left unsaid. I like Ofelia. It's great to see a science fiction protagonist who is realistically old but far from helpless.
