Lifelode

Lifelode, a Mythopoeic Award-winning novel by Jo Walton, explores the everyday lives of a comfortably polyamorous manor house family, each pursuing their own purpose or "lifelode." When two visitors arrive—a scholar and Ferrand’s great-grandmother from a mystical eastern land—their routines are set to be transformed amid a world where magic and divine beings coexist. The story offers a rich tapestry of family, purpose, and magical intrigue within a thoughtfully crafted community.
