From a dark Gothic Paris devastated by a magical war, where Fallen angels, dragons and magicians intrigue in the drawing rooms of ruined mansions; to the Vietnamese-tinged space opera universe of Xuya, where sentient spaceships become the heart and living memory of families and scholar-officials travel from planets to space stations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the Nebula award and Locus award winning \"Immersion\", two women on a colonised space station grapple with loss of identity and culture. In the Hugo finalist \"Children of Thorns, Children of Water\", a shapeshifting dragon on an infiltration mission to a ruined mansion must rescue his partner from creepy, child-like creatures. And in \"A Salvaging of Ghosts,\" a diver-scavenger cast off into deep spaces faces a dying midship and the ghost of her daughter. Unique to this collection is a new novella, \"Of Birthdays, and Fungus, and Kindness\", set in Bodard's alternative dark Paris. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eOf Wars, and Memories, and Starlight\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This stunning collection showcases de Bodard's lush worldbuilding, meticulous research, and emotional prose.\" -\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003cbr\u003e\"De Bodard (\u003ci\u003eThe House of Shattered Wings\u003c\/i\u003e, 2015) proves, again and again, that space opera can be intensely personal against its galactic backdrop....
