About “A Thousand Words For Stranger”

Julie Czerneda's debut science fiction novel, published in 1997, follows a woman named Sira who is on the run from the law, her own people, and an unknown pursuer. Her memory has been taken by a stasis block, leaving her unable to recall who she is or what she has done. Sira must stay free long enough to recover her identity and regain her telepathic abilities. Failure could mean the loss of her future and that of her entire race. This tenth anniversary edition revisits the story of a character fighting to reclaim herself in a dangerous and uncertain world.
