I read three books from Vorkosigan and now I finally understand why people love it so much.

The plot was so damn bittersweet.
Also, does anyone else think that Schaffa is a direct line descendent of Conductor Gallat and is the one-year-old child described in this passage?
2613: A massive underwater volcano erupted in the Tasr Straits between the Antarctic Polar Waste and the Stillness. Selis Leader Zenas, previously unknown to be an orogene, apparently quelled the volcano, although she was unable to escape the tsunami that it caused. Skies in the Antarctics darkened for five months, but cleared just before a Season could be officially declared. In the immediate aftermath of the tsunami, Selis Leader’s husband – the comm head at the time of the eruption, deposed by emergency election – attempted to defend their one-year-old child from a mob of survivors and was killed. Cause disputed: Some witnesses say the mob stoned him, others say the former comm head was strangled by a Guardian. Guardian took the orphaned infant to Warrant.
