Well, I’ve learned something! I thought this book was one of the trend of retelling of aspects of Greek mythology – must have been the title and the author’s Greek name that put that misconception into my head! It sounds considerably more interesting now that I know what it’s actually about!
It’s interesting, FictionFan. There is discussion of some ancient Greek stories, and they do play a role in the novel. But it’s not a retelling of ancient myths. Rather, it’s a story about the modern-day characters and what happens to them. If you read it, I hope you’ll enjoy it!
