A harder one to review.
But I loved it and Ai not sitting down made a lump come to my throat.
The book felt like it needed to go further, but for the time period it's ideas were amazing.
The world is seen through Ai's sexist vision, and so everyone being male could be contributed to that. However, Le Quin did write a further two essays after this book exploring gender further and so we know this was not the end of her thoughts.
The story was far easier to read than I thought it would be and I would read again.
Such a short book to explore so much and create such a vast and intricate world.
