Description

A dazzling retelling of Greek myth from Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist. Medusa is a powerful and haunting story about a young woman exiled to an island by the whims of the gods, surrounded only by snakes instead of hair. Her life is disrupted when a charmed boy arrives, unleashing desire, love and betrayal. Filled with glorious full-colour illustrations by Olivia Lomenech Gill, this retelling brings alive Medusa for a new generation. It illuminates the girl behind the legend, giving her a powerful and compassionate humanity. A beautiful and profound story that explores themes of identity, loneliness and the human condition.
