Ursula Le Guin – Earthsea

Serret

White Hallows by Melannen

'"I did it," her mother said, through heavy-lidded eyes, her words feathered from her childhood on Osskill, "I did it because you needed to be taught a lesson about reaching beyond your place. And because I could."' A complex & highly plausible look at the dysfunctional family of the Lord of Re Albi, set during A Wizard of Earthsea but drawing on Tehanu. A memorable story with some gorgeous word pictures, which repays rereading
