Title: Not her best work
Review: Some of her earlier work (1966) and certainly not her best. The stories themselves wander aimlessly lost among unformed and unrefined characters. Convoluted plot lines that twist back upon themselves with no development or direction. The Hainish connection is not enough to join the three works in any meaningful manner. A disappointment from an author whose later works among the best. Useful only as a study of her development and growth as a storyteller.
