This story is set in the same universe as The Dispossessed, and occurs just before the action of that novel.
Yet another award-winning story from Ursula K. Le Guin. A richly deserved award. Intensely felt, intensely imagined, intensely told.
Strongly recommended.
Spoiler Alert
The protagonist, Odo, is a 72 years old woman who has been part of, and a leader of, the revolution all her life. Now the revolution occurs, and Odo is coping with a stroke.
My rating system: I begin with one star being equivalent to a rating of "C -". Progressing upwards, I add ½ star for each step, up to the maximum 5 stars, which is equivalent to a rating of "A"+. I reserve ½ star for BOMBS, there being no option of zero or negative stars.
