From multi-award-winning, literary legend Ursula K. Le Guin comes a speculative fiction classic, The Eye of the Heron.
In Victoria on a former prison colony, two exiled groups - the farmers of Shantih and the city dwellers - live in apparent harmony. All is not as it seems, however. While the peace-loving farmers labor endlessly to provide food for the city, the city bosses rule the Shantih with an iron fist. When a group of farmers decide to form a new settlement further away, the bosses retaliate by threatening to crush the "rebellion".
Luz understands what it means to have no choices. Her father is a boss, and he has ruled over her life with the same iron fist. Luz wonders what it might be like to make her own choices. To be free to choose her own destiny.

I've always enjoyed this book.

The ecology of the world, though, is incongruously symbolic and dreamlike. The human characters achieve mass and three-dimensionality within a setting that should by rights generate two-dimensional caricatures, but a natural world with the potential for depth is flattened into atmosphere and symbols.
Great characterization, ok worldbuilding
