One of the best books I ever read. This book happens in a future where women are property and earth is negotiating with aliens for technology and other goods. The women of certain families are able to absorb alien languages as babies and children and then use their skills in these negotiations when older. Unforgettable characters, intriquiging situations and most of all the richness of the womens spirit and strength (and secrets) had me flipping pages and talking about this book every day at work. I couldn't shut up about this book. Thank goodness there are 2 sequels, The Judas Rose and Earthsong.
