Heart of Gold
reviewed on + 90 more book reviews


What if you could explore the questions of prejudice, race relations, and the assumptions you make about people in a place completely seperated from "black" vs "white"? In "Heart of Gold," Sharon Shinn has done just that. The Indigo are a matriarch ruled, mostly wealthy people, steeped in technology as well as tradition. The Gulden have a mostly poorer, male-dominated people, where women have little or no rights. The Albino are stuck in the middle, neither this nor that. Nolan and Kit let go of their prejudices to work together for the good of their world.
