Amazon thinks I would like it. I have never even heard of it. I have liked Le Guin's books in the past, and I am certainly not averse to reading a story based on the Aeneid.
But.
It would have to be done right. And be well written. If not, I would rather just reread the Aeneid.
Has anyone read it?

Yet when I tried to review it in 2008, I just couldn't. It takes quite a few tangents in places from the source material and for the most part it works as a commentary on Vergil's epic in a more subdued fashion than what one might expect from Le Guin. I'll re-read it in the future.
