SHORTLISTED FOR THE YOTO CARNEGIE MEDAL


_______________


'A beautiful and profound retelling' Madeline Miller, author of The Song of Achilles and Circe


'Gives the serpent-headed monster of myth a powerful and haunting humanity' Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne and Elektra


_______________


If I told you that I'd killed a man with a glance, would you wait to hear the rest? The why, the how, what happened next?


Monster. Man-hater. Murderess. Forget everything you've been told about Medusa.


Internationally bestselling author Jessie Burton flips the script in this astonishing retelling of Greek myth, illuminating the woman behind the legend at last.


Exiled to a far-flung island after being abused by powerful Gods, Medusa has little company other than the snakes that adorn her head instead of hair. Haunted by the memories of a life before everything was stolen from her, she has no choice but to make peace with her present: Medusa the Monster. But when the charmed and beautiful Perseus arrives on the island, her lonely existence is blown apart, unleashing desire, love. . . and betrayal.


Perfect for readers who loved Circe and Ariadne, as Medusa comes alive in a new version of the story that history set in stone long ago.

Pressestimmen

A beautiful and profound retelling . . . a powerfully feminist, elegaic and original twist on this old story. The book tackles pain and trauma without flinching, but its message is ultimately one of joy and hope
