Ursula Le Guin's latest novel, first published in 2008. Winner of the Locus Prize for Best Fantasy Novel (2009).

The hero of Virgil's Aeneid fights for the right to possess the daughter of King Latinus, with whom he is destined to found an empire. Only a few lines are dedicated to Lavinia herself in the poem. In Ursula Le Guin's novel, Lavinia finds a voice: she tells the story of her life - from a young girl who caused a bloody war, but stubbornly followed her chosen destiny, to maturity, filled with the joy of motherhood and the bitterness of loss.

Lavinia realizes that she is a character in the poem, and talks with the "poet" who invented her and the other characters, who tells his heroine about her future: in the roll call of these two voices between times, two views of the world are compared.
