I hope you all have been enjoying Ursula Le Guin's Lavinia as much as I have. You can always count on Le Guin for her glorious writing.

From The Guardian: The utterly convincing world that Le Guin creates, in her crisp, delicately flavoured, perfectly unfussed prose, is a homespun one." And this: "Le Guin makes sense of him in her subtly moving, playful, tactfully told story, a novel that brought me to tears more than once. Lavinia is a delightful heroine: pragmatic, sensible, gentle, courageous. Virgil would never have written her: she is a modern projection of a modern intelligence and sensibility. But it is very much to Le Guin's credit that her Lavinia never strikes a false note."

And Kirkus calls Lavinia "arguably her best novel."
