Description
Alcestis, a lush and emotionally devastating retelling of a lesser-known Greek myth, explores the magical reality of Ancient Greece. In this beautifully crafted debut, Katharine Beutner gives voice to the most misunderstood wives of Greek mythology.
This deluxe edition features discussion questions, a craft essay, and a bonus short story, offering readers a deeper understanding of Alcestis's journey from sheltered princess to self-actualized savior. With its achingly beautiful prose, this book redefines love and discovers the power of self-discovery.
