Tehanu

This is the fourth book in the Earthsea Cycle. Like its predecessors, it has great prose but doesn't have a lot of action. Unlike them, it's about our heroes living ordinary lives without their magic or power. It was written nearly twenty years after the third book. According to LeGuin's afterword, it took her time and life experience to get this novel fleshed out. This really shows in how the characters weave their ways through their lives and how they confront evil. The emotions are very realistic and the characters very human.
