'A rich and complex story of friendship and love' GUARDIAN 'Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new' Two people, until recently strangers, find themselves on a long, tortuous and dangerous journey across the ice. One is an outcast, forced to leave his beloved homeland; the other is fleeing from a different kind of persecution. What they have in common is curiosity, about others and themselves, and an almost unshakeable belief that the world can be a better place. As they journey for over 800 miles, across the harshest, most inhospitable landscape, they discover the true meaning of friendship, and of love.

This is a story about loneliness and need for closeness as well' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Ursula K. Le Guin asks, what if gender were not fixed, but serially changeable? . . . The Left Hand of Darkness is a book about journeys, both literal and metaphorical. It is that rare and precious thing: an original and mind-opening book' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Science fiction at its best

This revolutionary work of science fiction is one of my all-time favorites! Le Guin imagined a society on a foreign planet where no gender exists - at least not in the way we tend to think of it. While a novelty in its year of publication, the topic is still just as relevant today as ist has ever been. The way in which this world is thought out and the way the characters slowly form a connection, overcoming their differences and prejudices, still makes me think about this story frequently. Challenging our world view and the way we perceive others is exactly what I think the genre of science fiction is so great at!
