Natalie Haynes paints such a beautiful picture of Ancient Greece, her writing evokes such emotion and paints such a vivid picture of exactly what is being described in each scene that as a reader you are blown away. As far as retellings of Greek mythology, there is tragedy upon tragedy, but Haynes does a successful job in her modern take of Oedipus that it didn’t feel too doom and gloom when I finished. As always I liked how she managed to bring the focus and life into the female characters of the mythologies who were only ever given a second glance. Loved it and can’t wait to read more of her works!
