Über diesen Titel
There have been eighty requests to send an Observer into the hinterlands of the planet Aka to study the natives. Much to everyone's surprise, the eighty-first request is granted, and Observer Sutty is sent upriver to Okzat-Ozkat, a small city in the foothills of Rangma, to talk to the remnants in hiding of a cult practising a banned religion. On Aka, everything that was written in the old scripts has been destroyed; modern aural literature is all written to Corporation specifications.
The Corporation expects Sutty to report back so the non-standardised folk stories and songs can be wiped out and the people 're-educated'.
But Sutty herself is in for an education she never imagined.

The heroine is convincingly female - receptive, gentle, well mannered and considerate but of a quiet unwavering determination.
As always I delighted in finding some philosophical gems in it, which to name would be a spoiler.
The parallels to current events will probably escape hardly any reader, even where this happened and is happening less disruptively at snails pace, one little bit at a time.
Beautifully narrated, too. Perfectly matching the main character.
One of her Best
