Many stories portray the frontier, and in particular the Moon, as a place of sexual experimentation. John Kessel continues the tradition with "The Juniper Tree," a story set in a matriarchal society on the Moon. The protagonist is Rosalind Baldwin, a recent immigrant with a single father. While Rosalind is a teenager, the perfect age to experiment with new societal rules, her father has come to the Moon with an incomplete understanding of lunar mores and an inability to change his own morality to match that of his new home. The setting is fully realized (apparently the same as for a novel-in-progress) and the character relationships are complex and realistic. Kessel's writing manages to evoke emotion in the reader. -Steven H. Silver, Tangent Online (Learn more about Tangent Online, the Internet's leading SF&F short fiction review website)
"... a complex and passionate story set in a utopian lunar society where a father and daughter from Earth try to adjust to a matriarchal society where relationships are open and sex very casual."
--Mark R. Kelly, Locus Magazine
