LeGuin no te va a hacer un mal libro, ni siquiera cuando hace fanfic de la Eneida. Es concienzuda en no tocar más de lo necesario y ese es, precisamente, su gran defecto: La protagonista de la historia no es más que una espectadora de su propia vida, limitada por un elenco masculino.

This is the first of Le Guin I read, thanks to a trip to Portland, and her writing style is a revelation.

A fantastic retelling of Vergil’s Aeneid through the eyes of what was once a background character. Le Guin finally gave the Latin Queen the room and voice she deserved.
