Octavia Butler enchanted me again with this hundreds of years tale of a shapeshifter and a bodysnatcher. At first I thought this was SF, but then it became fantasy. Not that I mind since it was so engrossing. Strong characters and stories that invoked emotions, from wonder, sadness, anger, frustration and a little bit of hope. Same formula with her Parable novels, this one also has a great, tenacious female main character, who still had lots of love to share despite living in a cruel world with horrible men.
