The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula Le Guin
The Tombs of Atuan focuses on a young woman who has spent her life cloistered in the tombs of gods who she serves but doesn’t know. Just as the reader feels completely miserable at the state of this disillusioned young lady, Ged (who nobody would describe as particularly cheerful or up-beat), arrives and brings with him a much-needed ray of sunshine, even though he spends most of the book under the earth… This is a slow-paced book… Ursula Le Guin is always a pleasure to read and this audiobook version is very good.
