With the men and women of Volas living forever separated from one another, with their only dealings being for scientific procreation, fierce warrior Jorlan vows to bring the genders back together,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I loved this book and have the 1st printing. I have re-read this book so many times and it just gets better. The women who have isolated themselves on the island gave up so much to shape the future of their plant. The men have had to curtail their war making because of the population control the women held over them. The women and men in the story are very strong characters, yet both have to bend to bring the two societies back together and make it work.

This is a book I have picked up many times to enjoy over and over again. The idea of women getting so tired of the "macho" mentality, that they form their own society is very apealing to me sometimes. Of course we know that the two sides have to come together again. Watching the society grow to accomidate and reintragrate makes me wish for the next book, so I could know what happens next. The strenght of the women, which matches and at times overcomes the men, is a joy to read.
This was a fantastic book

This is the story of Volas, a world where the women have lived seperate from the men for over a hundred years. Now the desendents of that revolution, Jorlan and Amala, must reunite this society. While dealing with basic misconseptions between men and women, these two will also find love.
This book is pretty good.

The author does a nice exploration of what it might be like if the two sexes separated and removed all contact from each other. Her female characters are realistically strong yet feminine. The main character's personalities are believable, and the romance is enjoyable. The only bad thing about the book is that it ended. I would enjoy reading a sequel very much.
