The Necessity of Stars

Plagued by the creeping loss of her memory, diplomat Breone Hemmerli continues to negotiate peace in an increasingly climate-devastated world. The Necessity of Stars brings the alien Tura to Breone’s Normandy garden, a place removed from the world’s ruin. Within the garden’s shadows, Tura will show Breone a way forward, even if she can’t remember it.

The Necessity of Starsby E. Catherine Tobler is a thoughtful tale of memory loss, politics and climate change.
