Review:
"LeGuin spins a tale fraught with political tension...."
Kirkus Reviews, 08/01/2006
Review:"Mermer is a sympathetic character from the start, and her sure and steady growth in the understanding of differences both reconcilable and irreconcilable and the complications of conquest is masterfully understated. The narration gives equal time to exposition, character development, and violent action; the cultural compromises, enforced cooperations, daily dangers, and complex emotions of life under occupation will have relevance for readers' understanding of political exigencies in our own time, while the strong characters ensure personal engagement with the story."

Ansul was once a peaceful town filled with libraries, schools, and temples. But that was long ago, and the conquerors of this coastal city consider reading and writing to be acts punishable by death. And they believe the Oracle House, where the last few undestroyed books are hidden, is seething with demons. But to seventeen-year-old Memer, the house is a refuge, a place of family and learning, ritual and memory--the only place where she feels truly safe. Then an Uplands poet named Orrec and his wife, Gry, arrive, and everything in Memer's life begins to change. Will she and the people of Ansul at last be brave enough to rebel against their oppressors? A haunting and gripping coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of violence, intolerance, and magic, " Voices" is a novel that readers will not soon forget.
