A decent read. Short. Not very good as science fiction -- wouldn't people on the moon have trouble adjusting to Earth's gravity? Hard to imagine that in the future when we've colonized the moon that pandemics will still be a big issue and that people will be harping on a woman's childcare responsibilities compared to the father. Seems like the author was just projecting herself into the novel, not really giving the novel much care or thought.
