Medusa's Sisters

Absolutely mesmerising, a debut to watch and follow. Bear creates a compelling interwoven tapestry of sisterhood, familiar tales, differing perspectives and absolute heartache. I have been blown away. The Greek mythology realm has reams of tales about Medusa, and some of my favourite feminist reads showcase the inequality and unfairness between Athena/ Atheni's jealousy and temper to the innocence of Medusa, a mere mortal. Adapting the tale to showcase those affected by the tragedy and destruction opens doorways in so many ways.
