Powers by Ursula Le Guin

[altariel]

I am so pleased that Powers, the third book in Le Guin's trilogy Annals of the Western Shore has won a sixth Nebula for her. It is the most remarkable book about the quest for freedom, identity, self-knowledge. Reading it felt like being given a gift of wisdom and craft. The other books are splendid, but Powers is something special.

Hurrah indeed!

BTW, the book about Narnia that we were struggling to recall was The Magician's Book by Laura Miller. the_wild_iris surprised me with a late birthday gift of it on Monday. I'll read and pass on if you like?

Hurrah for the_wild_iris too! Yes, please, I'd love to borrow it sometime, but there's no hurry.
