Thank you to NetGalley and Central Avenue Publishing, for approving me for a digital copy of the book for review.
The myths of Persephone meet modern media in an interpretation of her journey from child to goddess in poems and pictures most women will resonate with. Exploring the themes of grief, abandonment, lack of autonomy, lineage, paternal figures and power, this book has a clear feminist context and goal. To me, it felt like a warm embrace. I'm glad of the reminder of the strength held- and the pain endured by women in society to this day. I quite liked it!
