Avice Benner Cho, a human colonist, has returned to Embassytown after years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue, but she is an indelible part of it, having long ago been made a figure of speech, a living simile in their language. When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka, the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms, and Avice is torn between competing loyalties: to a husband she no longer loves, to a system she no longer trusts, and to her place in a language she cannot speak--but which speaks through her, whether she likes it or not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e China Mi騅ille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0345524500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780345524508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Del Rey Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugo Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAsimov's Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 182","brand":"China Mi騅ille","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049591075071,"sku":"9780345524508","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4604cee3-4c8c-45ef-a2e1-f876c9f5a5c6.jpg?v=1685002391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/embassytown-china-miville-9780345524508","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
