Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novelette
“Signs of Life” by Sarah Pinsker (11,996 words or about 48 minutes to read), published in Uncanny magazine issue #59, July/August 2024
Sarah Pinsker is one of my favorite authors! She always combines great storytelling with exploring the most amazing “What if?” questions.
In this touching and endearing story, she tells us of estranged sisters who find their way back to each other after many years. And in the process, the older learns something about her sister that she actively made herself forget.
