That is one of her less known works, in my experience. As in many of her other novels, she takes on complex human issues.

For me, one of her best is "The Left Hand of Darkness." The concept of a human sub-species which is estrous-driven, and sequentially hermaphroditic gives rise to very many marvels. A mono-gendered human is a "pervert" in these peoples' eyes. This is an incredible frame for the whole discussion of gender.
