What this book is about
Lone is a powerful empath who cannot function alone; Janie can move objects with her mind; twin Black girls teleport; a baby processes information at superhuman speed. Together they form Homo Gestalt — a new kind of human being. Sturgeon's 1953 SF classic is a compassionate meditation on disability, belonging, and evolution.
