Exile from Space
Judith Merril
Read by Jenn Broda
“Who was this strange girl who had been born in this place—and still it wasn't her home? ‘They’ worried about the impression she'd make”. “They” worried she would go and never come back. She was returning to a place that was not hers, with ways of living that she didn’t understand. “They” failed to prepare her for what happened. - Summary by Jenn Broda and The Author (1 hr 41 min)

Reviews
fascinating story
A LibriVox Listener
A clever story and a new take on the visitor from space idea. The reader did an excellent job and has the perfect voice and inflection for the main character, who is a young and naive woman! Well done!! I only wish the story was longer!
very good!

This conceited story reflects a world view that has humanity sharply divided into two classes of people. E.G. men and women. The fact that the protagonist is in fact a women plays a central role in the story. This world view is now know to cause irreparable harm to normal people who are on the spectrum of genders. The story is literally as bad as Mein Kamf. Story needs to be rewritten to have the protagonist be a 42 percent man, 32 percent lesbian transexual, 26 percent alligator and 12 percent asexual.
