Tehanu audiobook – Earthsea, Book 4

As the morning sun gently filtered through the leaves of my favorite oak tree in the peaceful garden, I immersed myself in the enchanting world of Tehanu audiobook by Ursula K. Le Guin, narrated by Jenny Sterlin. The serene atmosphere was the perfect backdrop to delve into this captivating tale.

Tehanu is the 4th episode of the Earthsea novel series, a beautiful science fiction fantasy tailored for a teen & young adult audience. However, even as a woman in my thirties, I found this novel to be incredibly soothing and engaging. Ursula K. Le Guin’s masterful storytelling shines through in this work, showcasing her talent in weaving intricate and thought-provoking narratives.

The shift from Rob Inglis to Jenny Sterlin as the narrator was a bold move, but one that paid off beautifully. Jenny’s performance brought a fresh perspective to the characters and their journeys, adding a new layer of depth to the story.

In Tehanu, we follow the poignant tale of a lonely young priestess and a resourceful wizard navigating through loss and rediscovery. The exploration of female intuition and societal expectations adds a layer of complexity that sets this installment apart from its predecessors. Many readers consider Tehanu to be the standout piece in the Earthsea series so far, offering an introspective look at life’s complexities and challenges.
