This book is profoundly moving, full of beautiful touches which made the story feel fresh without losing any of the magic of its classical setting. I absolutely loved it. Elodie Harper, author of THE WOLF DENmehr

Autor



Jennifer Saint begeisterte sich schon als Kind für die griechische Mythologie, und während ihres Studiums der Altphilologie am King's College in London hat sie ihre Liebe zu den antiken Sagen vertieft. Als Englischlehrerin versucht sie die Faszination für Geschichten aller Art und die reiche Erzähltradition seit Homer zu vermitteln. Jeder Erzähler hat die antiken Stoffe für sich neu interpretiert. Jennifer Saint stellt die weibliche Heldin in den Mittelpunkt.
