Description
Medusa, a retelling of Greek myth, offers a powerful and haunting portrayal of the woman behind the legend. Internationally bestselling author Jessie Burton flips the script, illuminating the life of Medusa, a woman exiled to a far-flung island after being abused by powerful Gods.
Haunted by memories of a life before everything was stolen from her, Medusa has little company other than the snakes that adorn her head. Her lonely existence is disrupted when the charmed and beautiful Perseus arrives on the island, unleashing desire, love, and betrayal.
This paperback edition, adapted from the hardback illustrated by Olivia Lomenech-Gill, is a worthwhile read for those who loved Circe and Ariadne, offering a new version of the story that has been passed down for centuries.
