Radiance
byCatherynne M. Valente
"Severin Unck's father is a famous director of Gothic romances in an alternate 1986 in which talking movies are still a daring innovation due to the patent-hoarding Edison family. Rebelling against her father's films of passion, intrigue, and spirits from beyond, Severin starts making documentaries, traveling through space and investigating the levitator cults of Neptune and the lawless saloons of Mars.

Severin is a realist in a fantastic universe.

Though her crew limps home to earth and her story is preserved by the colony's last survivor, Severin will never return"--
