This is the first mythical retelling I’ve read. If it’s not the best, I’ll be very (pleasantly) surprised. The way the characters, plot, attitudes are all weaved together in what is both a genuinely laugh-out-loud comedy and deeply emotional tragedy is incredible. Very Greek.
Graphic: Child death
Moderate: Animal death and Animal cruelty
