(  ) Enno23 | Aug 15, 2021 |  A much welcomed continuation in the Hainish series, this one dealing strongly with the notions of feminism, class structure and slavery. I loved it. (  ) wickenden | Mar 8, 2021 | **Four Ways to Forgiveness** is part of *Ursula K. Le Guin*'s Hainish Cycle, and gives us a bit of a backstory on the Hainish themselves, how the Ekumen was founded, and how worlds may come to join the Ekumen. The story is told in four parts, a character apiece. The characters do interact, but they form their own narratives. From the perspective of a slave, a military slave owner, an envoy, and a historian, we gain a perspective on the world of Werel, and the rebellion of the slaves against their owners. I was very impressed with the discussion of slavery, dependence, culture, misogyny, and revolution from the different perspectives. It's not easy reading though – Le Guin doesn't shy away from depicting all the horrible parts of oppression and slavery. Despite that, the stories were touching and hopeful and noticeably written to work well together. (  ) _rixx_ | May 24, 2020 | I'm adding a shelf for books recommended by the Feminist SciFi blog of books to read this election season.  roniweb | May 30, 2019 | Good. What makes all 4 short stories connected is revolution, male/female relations. [read 2003-15 yr ago] ( ) juniperSun | Jan 18, 2019 |
At the far end of our universe, on the twin planets of Werel and Yeowe, all humankind is divided into "assets" and "owners," tradition and liberation are at war, and freedom takes many forms. Here is a society as complex and troubled as any on our world, peopled with unforgettable characters struggling to become fully human. For the disgraced revolutionary Abberkam, the callow "space brat" Solly, the haughty soldier Teyeo, and the Ekumen historian and Hainish exile Havzhiva, freedom and duty both begin in the heart, and success as well as failure has its costs. In this stunning collection of four intimately interconnected novellas, Ursula K. Le Guin returns to the great themes that have made her one of America's most honored and respected authors.
