rinnfoskey 's review for:
Tehanu
by Ursula K. Le Guin
A slightly different feel from the first three books, we return to Tenar. After Ged took her to Ogion we learn she's chosen the life of a wife of a farmer, raising children and tending to her home. She is widowed now and takes in a child who was horribly abused and Ged returns after the great cost he has paid in the farthest shore.
This book dwells more on the experience of women and imbalance of power and patriarchy and so maybe bringing more of the reality to the fantasy novels. I was glad to see a more rounded expression of Tenar and Ged continues to be a complex character - there are no pure heroes in Le Guin's books
