Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Exile from Space" by Judith Merril is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The story explores the life of a young woman who has been born on a spaceship but is sent to Earth to complete her education. The narrative revolves around her feelings of alienation and the struggle to adapt to a world that is both familiar and utterly strange. The protagonist, Tina, finds herself in Colorado Springs after being raised in a technologically advanced environment aboard a spaceship. As she navigates the complexities of Earth culture, she grapples with her identity and the stark differences between her upbringing and the customs of Earthlings. Initially excited yet apprehensive about her mission, Tina experiences overwhelming sensations as she encounters human society — from the odd smells and physicality of the people to the intricacies of their social norms. Her journey intensifies as she meets Larry, a local man, and they develop a romantic connection, but their relationship leads to questions about belonging, love, and the implications of her extraterrestrial origins. Through her experiences and the emotional turmoil of adjusting to life on Earth, the story delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the nature of humanity.
