Woman on the Edge of Time

This book presents an interesting problem. It is a great book filled with fantastic writing, engaging characters, discussions of things that matter, and so many parts that lead to a great work of speculative fiction - if not the most cheerful (parts of this book are tough reads and intentionally so). It is from 1976 and this is first time I have read it so many of the themes of the book I have run into elsewhere and may well have become tropes based on this book - what came first right? That made it hard for me to evaluate. I recommend it, highly but it also seemed so familiar that at times that familiarity took me out of the story, frustrating. My problems aside this is a great book.
