Medusa

“A beautiful and profound retelling” (Madeline Miller) of the Greek myth of Medusa, illuminating the woman behind the legend. Exiled to a far-flung island after being abused by powerful Gods, Medusa has little company other than the snakes that adorn her head. Haunted by memories of life before everything was stolen, she's forced to make peace with her present: she’s Medusa the Monster. But when charming Perseus arrives on the island, it unleashes desire, love—and betrayal. For readers of Circe and Ariadne, Medusa is an astonishing reinvention that brings to vivid life a heroine history has set in stone.
