I'm surprised this book isn't a classic taught in American High School.

A very brief novel, more of a novella, about two lonely young people who find it hard to figure out how to love each other, while guarding and fostering the light within themselves. I'm not entirely convinced by the voice purporting to be of a 17 year old boy, but as usual Le Guin provides some lovely quotable passages and a thoughtful, richly human story.

What a wonderful story, although this may be a coming of age story for young adults, adults can learn and enjoy it as well.
