About This Book

Published in 1991, Tehanu established Ursula K. Le Guin as one of the defining voices in fantasy. Tenar, the former High Priestess of the Tombs of Atuan, now widowed and living simply in the countryside, takes in a brutally abused girl—and is rejoined by the Archmage Ged, who has lost his power. Le Guin's Nebula-winning fourth Earthsea novel is the quietest and most feminist entry in the series, revisiting the world through the eyes of age and womanhood. Themes of power, womanhood, abuse run through the work. The book has received recognition from Nebula Award 1991.
