A dazzling, feminist retelling of Greek myth in a stunning new paperback from the internationally bestselling author of The Miniaturist.
Exiled to a far-flung island by the whims of the gods, Medusa has little company except the snakes that adorn her head instead of hair. But when a charmed, beautiful boy called Perseus arrives on the island, her lonely existence is disrupted with the force of a supernova, unleashing desire, love and betrayal …
This astonishing retelling of Greek myth is perfect for readers of Circe and The Silence of the Girls. Illuminating the girl behind the legend, it brings alive Medusa for a new generation.
Now available as a gorgeous paperback with flaps, bringing Medusa's fierce voice and powerful story to the forefront.
