Menolly, a young fisher's daughter, had dreamed all her life of learning the Harper's craft. Her musical talent is not valued in her fishing hold, especially by her parents the holders, as women in general tend to be less valued and have fewer choices than men in Pernese society. When her father denies her what she regards to be her destiny, she flees Half Circle Hold just as Pern is struck by the deadly danger of Threadfall, a deathly rain that falls from the sky. Menolly takes shelter in a cave by the sea and there, she makes a miraculous discovery that will change her life.

It always takes me a moment to get into a fantasy novel when there are elements that I have difficulty visualizing in my mind. But after I got past the introductory chapters and started really learning the characters instead of the setting so much I really started to enjoy the story. It ended up being much shorter than I expected but I truly enjoyed it and would like to read more. This is my first Anne McCaffrey novel.
