    Voyager in Night by C J Cherryh

    A trading voyage leads to first contact and a delightful process
    of mutual discovery.

    This and its colleagues (19 novels in 8 years, you note) were read as
    soon as as SFBC offered them (at least, the SF was -- I tried one
    about "The Sidhe" but found it impenetrable).

    And kept right on reading after that. Even when she turned to soap
    opera (as I believe I have noted before).

    I fell out of Cherryh after slogging through _Cyteen_ and kind of
    thought she had retired, but looking at isfdb, I see she has stuff as >recently as 2023 though she is in her 80s. Good on her!

    The Hinder Stars is 2024.

    The Hinder Stars is 2024.

    ... and probably written mainly by Jane S. Fancher.
