Finished reading #UrsulaKLeGuin 's 1820s historical novel set in a (fictional) part of the Austro-Hungarian empire - Orsinia, a setting she has returned to, in various time periods, in a few of her non-SFF works. The story does eventually feature a violent revolution, but this is not an exciting or heroic book - it is very slow moving and took me some time to get into. But the care, clarity, and skill she brings to characters, setting, and prose definitely paid off for me. #Bookstodon @bookstodon

Was once again reminded of Ursula K. Le Guin's daily schedule, and why this woman was an icon on every single level.
