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!

So many books, so little time to re-read. I will definitely track down Lavinia soon.

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.
