I haven't had a novel move me to tears in a long while! I know it's fiction, I know the basics of the saga and yet it's such an original and moving retelling. Extremely well developed characters. I read this after Circe but had been meaning to read it for a long while because it had been listed for The Orange prize. So glad I finally got to read it. ...more
