Plot Synopsis
The Children of Hurin takes place in the fantasy world, middle-earth during the time before The Lord of the Rings. It is an in-depth retelling of the story of Hurin's cursed son Turin Turambar and Turin's sister Nienor Niniel.Critical Reception
"If anyone still labors under the delusion that J.R.R. Tolkien was a writer of twee fantasies for children, this novel should set them straight. A bleak, darkly beautiful tale played out against the background of the First Age of Tolkien's Middle Earth, The Children of Hurin possesses the mythic resonance and grim sense of inexorable fate found in Greek tragedy." - Washington Post

The Children of Hurin by JRR Tolkien is a great book and should be read by all fans of the author. Same for Unfinished Tales.
