The Beginning Place
The Beginning Place | Ursula K. Le Guin
4 posts | 8 read | 7 to read
Fleeing from the monotony of his life, Hugh Rogers finds his way to "the beginning place"--a gateway to Tembreabrezi, an idyllic, unchanging world of eternal twilight. Irena Pannis was thirteen when she first found the beginning place. Now, seven years later, she has grown to know and love the gentle inhabitants of Tembreabrezi, or Mountaintown, and she sees Hugh as a trespasser. But then a monstrous shadow threatens to destroy Mountaintown, and Hugh and Irena join forces to seek it out. Along the way, they begin to fall in love. Are they on their way to a new beginning...or a fateful end? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

New episode is out! We head into the New Year with a full head of steam. We review the subtly wonderful Ursula K Le Guin's The Beginning Place and choose a book to read for January. The slate of potential reads was very strong (almost too strong) and we left some good candidates on the cutting room floor. Enjoy!

While The Beginning Place is not without its problems with the gendered tropes of male hero and female help, I appreciated its value in telling a story about creating a life, a relationship, and a worldview different from those you inherit.

AllieLovesBooks I haven‘t read it, but A+ to your husband for his thoughtfulness. The cover looks intriguing. 5y

I read this book many years ago, and honestly l don't remember much other that l was disappointed.

Two young people travel to another world, where they think they might have found paradise. But appearances are deceiving.

I had never read Le Guin before and l wanted to see how l liked her. Sadly, l've never read her again. But l think that in all fairness, l should give her another go
