This is definitely on my list as historical myth retellings are quickly becoming a genre that I enjoy! It’s definitely one of her less famous works but as you more or less said all Le Guin is worth reading. Also the sass when the sun came out! Immaculate. As always the vibes were wonderful and I hope you have a lovely week!

Really good review! It added to my thoughts and you managed to be so concise and well spoken! Thank you! I did need a lot of time to process it, and actually I still wish there were more of her story I could read because I really liked Lavinia as a character. I wanted more scenes with her friends and husband. But yeah it was fun to read it together and exchange thoughts. Still can't get over how fast you read it compared to me 😂 Sarah

Aw thank you my lovely! I agree - I want more time spent with Lavinia and her loved ones. I think I want to reread it now that I know the story and really spend some time with the novel. I do read relatively fast 😂 especially when it comes to Le Guin!

"Oh the sun has come out!" Get it away, summer lovers have had their fill it's time for cold grey days galore. I am disgusted with the inordinate amount of smug I feel during the autumn/wintr. I think it's because my Mum is a summer lover so she always teases me about how much I struggle with the heat haha. It's always such a testament to an author's quality when someone reads one of their books and still really enjoys it but it's not their favourite. This, as always, was a lovely review and you always give off such positive vibes. i'm sure this will be a great recommendation for people who like this sort of book :)

Hahaha Mason I’m exactly the same! I absolutely thrive when it gets to the colder seasons and I always feel so powerful walking around enjoying the frost and the wind while everyone else is miserable and shivering haha I am evil. I’m glad you’re the same and enjoy the colder weather as we definitely get a lot of it here in the UK. Aw thank you. She was a phenomenal writer and even if the story isn’t my vibe, I will always appreciate her talented writing skills.

It’s literally one of my favourite books and I’m rereading it now as part of a buddy read! I think I’ll do an updated video as my old editing software was really glitchy 😅 thanks for watching!

@@harrietsbookcorner 👍 I asked cuz it's on a 1,000 books to read list and I've never read anything by her. Will have to bump it up in my to-read list.
