Ursula LeGuin's Voices
Wow, this was really good. Is this whole series about the power of storytelling and books?? In this second volume, the protagonist is a young girl in a place where people loved books and peace and diplomacy, until they were conquered by an army whose religion says that the written word is evil. But she can magically open a secret room full of books. And then the two protagonists from the previous book (now twenty years older) come to town and set great changes into motion. But also this is just about people caring about each other and trying to make a better world! I love it! A.
