From multi-award-winning, literary legend Ursula K. Le Guin comes a
speculative fiction classic, The Eye of the Heron.
In Victoria on a former prison colony, two exiled groups--the farmers of
Shantih and the City dwellers--live in apparent harmony. All is not as
it seems, however. While the peace-loving farmers labor endlessly to
provide food for the City, the City Bosses rule the Shantih with an iron
fist. When a group of farmers decide to form a new settlement further
away, the Bosses retaliate by threatening to crush the "rebellion."
Luz understands what it means to have no choices. Her father is a Boss
and he has ruled over her life with the same iron fist. Luz wonders what
it might be like to make her own choices. To be free to choose her own
destiny.
