While being a space-faring empire, Barrayar still harbors
deep-rooted prejudices and superstitions, including those against
"mutants." *** When a Dendarii hill-woman comes before Aral
Vorkosigan seeking justice for the murder of her infant baby who
has been killed because of her physical defects, the Barrayaran
Lord sends his son Miles to a remote mountain village to discover
the truth and carry out Imperial justice and at the same time
attack these long-held barbaric beliefs. *** And who better than
Miles Vorkosigan, who has himself struggled with these prejudices
all his life because of his own physical deformities. *** The
Mountains of Mourning is a stand-alone novella that takes place
(chronologically) between the events relayed in The Warrior's
Apprentice and The Vor Game. It won both the Hugo and the Nebula
awards the year it was published, as well as an SF Chronicles Award
for best Novella.
