The Eye of the Heron

Ursula K. Le Guin

Synopsis

 6000 colonists on a planet. 2/3 are exiled criminals, the other third are exile pacifists. The pacifists, 80 years after having arrived, want to be independent.. 

My take

 It's like other Ursula books: there are many metaphors  that flew over my head. 
That being said, it's an interesting book about ego and fighting with principles. 
It's not one of Ursula's best but it's still a good book
