Very Far Away from Anywhere Else

<p><strong>A slender realistic story of a young man's coming of age <em>Very Far Away from Anywhere Else</em> is one of the most inspiring novels Ursula K. Le Guin ever published.</strong></p><p>Owen is seventeen and smart. He knows what he wants to do with his life. But then he meets Natalie and he realizes he doesn't know anything much at all. </p><p>Like all Le Guin's work <em>Very Far Away from Anywhere Else</em> is about the invisible structures of society and about the challenge to live honestly. On a Sunday years ago I was lucky to encounter a book that could show me the breadth our lives have--that the discovery of what leads us on is better than the goal of perfection. --Emily Schultz <em>Bustle</em></p><p>An engaging well written novel. --<em>New York Times</em></p>
