As the first revisit to a previous narrator, Le Guin doesn’t choose our fabled hero but our priestess of the Tomb. A beautiful exploration of family, love and womanhood. I think I’m still chewing on this chapter of the story as one of the most quietly profound. This isn’t some grand adventure to slay dragons, or save the realm, it is one of raising a child in a world that seems preoccupied with hate and prejudice. Stunningly done.
