I had massive sister-issues myself as a kid, so I suspect that Jacob have I loved was kind of cathartic to me. Though the ending was a bit of a let-down, and part of me still wish that Louise (?) had stuck to her original game-plan and worked as used her qualifications as a nurse to get into med school, even if I think the last scene is about her getting some perspective on her childhood. (OTOH, the ending to Of Nightingales that weep creeped me out to no end when I was younger.)
I never read Tehanu, because as long as I don't Tenar can do whatever she wants with her life. ;-)
