recommended for: english majors, lesbians
A bildungsroman about a young girl raised by her father consumed with the translation of Ovid's Metamorphosis and has that really delightfully Jeanette Winterson aspect of calling on myth for plot exposition. Hauntingly beautiful with descriptions like Plath and reminiscent in themes of Fun Home by Allison Bechdel.
