A former adventurer, who eventually chose life as a farm wife, finds herself thrust back into the spotlight when she helps a dying wizard and an abused child in Ursula LeGuin's Tehanu.
I recommend Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea Trilogy to anyone (and just recently hooked my brother up with the first one) not only a great young adult fantasy trilogy but just a great fantasy trilogy in general. This entry was written long after the original series of novels and features older and more reflective versions of the main characters from the earlier works.
Light on action, this book--billed as the last Earthsea novel--is more meditative, focusing a lot on the roles of women in the world. It is a worthwhile adult conclusion to a series mostly read by younger eyes.
I picked this up at a library book sale for a quarter and read it over a few days on a trip to Europe.
