Medusa by Rosie Hewlett

dark emotional sad fast-paced

4.5

This book gave Medusa the voice she deserves. I am a lifelong fan of Greek mythology, and Medusa’s story has always been fascinating to me. Heartbreaking and sad, yes, but also fascinating, especially when you hold it up like a mirror to the world we live in today. What makes a monster? What makes a hero? What makes history? Those are all questions I will probably have until the day I die, but I will always enjoy reading about other people’s opinions on them. “Medusa” is one I will definitely revisit again for that reason.
