A powerful retelling of Oedipus and Antigone from the perspectives
of the women the myths overlooked, from Natalie Haynes, the Women's
Prize-shortlisted author of A Thousand Ships and the Sunday Times
bestseller Stone Blind. My siblings and I have grown up in a cursed
house, children of cursed parents . . . Jocasta is just fifteen
when she is told that she must marry the King of Thebes, an old man
she has never met. Her life has never been her own, and nor will it
be, unless she outlives her strange, absent husband. Ismene is the
same age when she is attacked in the palace she calls home. Since
the day of her parents' tragic deaths a decade earlier, she has
always longed to feel safe with the family she still has. But with
a single act of violence, all that is about to change. With the
turn of these two events, a tragedy is set in motion. But not as
you know it. 'Haynes balances a fresh take on the material . . .
giving new voice to the often-overlooked but fascinating Jocasta
and Ismene.' - Madeline Miller, author of Circe.
