We also have other parts of the planets and the moon included as settings at some points. They're brutal and they're allowed to be, and they even like it. The Voorstlanders are not a group you would ever wish to come across as they believe they are working the name of their God and they do not care what other races think. They also keep Gharm who are basically slaves that they conquered and brought with them to Voorstod. Voorstod is a brutal land which favours men over women and forbids the women from having a say, dressing how they wish or having any freedom. One of these people who has migrated to Hobbs Land is Marie Manone who moved from Voorstod with her young son Sam. Hobbs Land is a farming community which was one the home of the Owlbright cultures but was abandoned by them and is now take over by the Hobbs food production company and various settlements made up of willing migrants who want to live a peaceful life. This is largely set on two different planets: Hobbs land, and Voorstod. It's also my first foray into Sheri S Tepper's work and will no doubt be the first of many as I definitely enjoyed this one. This book is one I picked up as I wanted to continue reading some older SF by ladies, and it did not disappoint.
