These are the words of Falco, leader of the City people. They were the first to come to the penal colony of Victoria, sent from the cities of Brasil-America in one-way space-ships. When the People of Peace were sent there from Can-America, sixty years later, they found the City had been built, and they were not welcome. They had to live in Shantih and the City people called them vermin.
But now Falco faces a double threat: the growing restlessness of the pacifist Shanty-Towners and the growing consciousness of his daughter, Luz, in a male—dominated society.
A new world, a frightening crisis of future-history, an intense drama of human relationships, The Eye of the Heron is Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin at her best.
