Reviews" The Telling will make you anticipate tomorrow a bit differently than you did yesterday." - Denver Rocky Mountain News "Powerfully moving…This is humanist SF at its best, LeGuin in top form." - Faren Miller, Locus "Her language, which sings true in every line, is simple and profound, and her storytelling is sure." - Los Angeles Times "I was enthralled." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch "In The Telling , the long overdue continuation of her classic Hainish cycle, Ursula K. Le Guin combines the gifts of a pure storyteller at the height of her powers with a wise and passionate heart and the disciplined, ceaselessly questioning mind of a true philosopher… In her Hainish books she is creating a social anthropology of the future, fascinating and utterly believable." - Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn "Spellbinding."- The Denver Post
