Illicit Passage
Illicit Passage (Women's Redress Press, Australia: 1992).
Illicit Passage made the 1993 Tiptree Short List.
Novel by Alice Nunn.
This obscure Australian novel is one of the best SF novels ever written. Period. In the smaller category of novels that concern class, revolution, and radical politics, it is even more of a standout. It also features one of the best uses of the "unreliable narrator" technique in my experience. --Debbie Notkin
