I had fun reading this book.  This is the third book in the adventures 
of an outlander trying to adapt to a society where it's good manners
to eat some of a guest's food -- to show that you haven't poisoned it.
The best thing about the book, as with its predecessors, is the droll
and engaging narration.

I consider Egan's first book "Gate of Ivory", to be her best, but 
"Guilt-Edged Ivory" is almost as good.  It's worth giving one of them
a try.
