The Shattered Chain | 
pickA few days ago I posted the regrettable cover of a later printing of this. Here is George Barr's original cover, one I like almost as much as I find Hescox's ridiculous.
But the content. It is tenth in Bradley's Darkover series, and for my taste the best entry so far. It consists of three linked novellas featuring the "free Amazons," independent women who owe allegiance to nobody but themselves.
Therewillbebooks That's a very cool cover 3y
BookishMarginalia I am conflicted about Bradley‘s work because of this: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/jun/27/sff-community-marion-zimmer-bradle... 3y
swynn @Therewillbebooks isn't it though? 3y

swynn @BookishMarginalia Valid. She seems to have been an awful human being at home. 3y
wanderinglynn Yes, this is a much better cover. But I agree with @BookishMarginalia - it‘s conflicting. Can one separate the art from the artist? I‘m not sure you can. And in this case, the allegations are too horrendous. 3y
swynn @wanderinglynn Also valid. I've no interest in defending or excusing Bradley. 3y
