'A tour de force' EVENING STANDARD
Ansul was once a peaceful town filled with libraries, schools and temples. But that was long ago, before the Alds came. The Alds believe demons hide in words and so they ban reading and writing, acts now punishable by death. What few books survive remain hidden by the Waylord, and his beloved adopted daughter Memer, a child born of violence.
But times are changing when two strangers arrive. Orrec is a story-teller, the most famous of all: he has the gift of making. His wife Gry's gift is that of calling; she walks with a halflion who both frightens and fascinates the Alds.
This is the story of Memer, of a conquered people craving freedom, and of the power of words.
'Le Guin is effortlessly at the top of her game. Voices... is a marvellously thoughtful and intelligent piece of fiction' Independent
