I read this book decades ago when I was a teenager, and it had a huge impact (no pun intended) on me. It’s one of the first novels I can remember that made me sob when it was over. I need to read it again.
This led me to Stranger in a Strange Land which was just wild and gave me a view into relationships that I wasn’t expecting.
I haven’t read The Moon is a harsh Mistress yet, but Stranger in a strange Land is amazing.
