Although this may be Karen Lord’s second novel, many critics
say that it exceeds her first work, which was the multipleaward-winning ‘Redemption In Indigo’. ‘The Best of all
Possible Worlds’ is a beautifully written and moving sci-fi love
story. The story also
examines adaptation,
social change and human
relationships.
In the pages of this
novel, Lord weaves a
story about a proud and
reserved alien society
that finds their homeland
destroyed and have no
choice but to reach out to
the indigenous
humanoids of their
adopted world. While
they wish to preserve
their way of life, they
discover that in order to
preserve it, they may
have to change it forever.
This leads a man and a woman from the two clashing societies
with opposing characteristic to work together to save this
vanishing race and it is through this journey that they find their
destinies in each other.
