arr reviewed Lavinia by Ursula K. Le Guin
Review of 'Lavinia' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
A book truly made for me, the world's foremost lover of Leftover Ladies, the piece de resistance being that, like, damn, that's a Writer.
In The Aeneid, Vergil's hero fights to claim the king's daughter, Lavinia, with whom he is destined to found an empire. Lavinia herself never speaks a word in the poem. Now, Ursula K. Le Guin gives Lavinia a voice in a novel that takes the reader to the half-wild world of ancient Italy, when Rome was a muddy village near seven hills.--From amazon.com.
