Twenty years after the fall of Troy, an aged Amazon retells the stories of her people to her granddaughter, including versions of the myths of Thetis, Medusa, and Hippolyta.
This book is a lovely, wonderful retelling of the myths I was forced to grow up hearing. We all know that the victors write the tales of what happened and it's great to finally have another viewpoint. As a woman, I have always longed for stories that would bring me pride...for heroes of my own gender to look up to and admire. As a mother, I have despaired of finding good role models for my daughters to grow on...women who were not wimpy things at the whim of others. I have finally found the answer to my search. And all I can say is BRAVA!
