The Whispering Muse by Sjón

4.0

4.5 - I wish it had have been longer because I really enjoyed this. The mythology was told eloquently and the twist at the end was brilliant!!! Far out, I love magical realism. The end redeems both the unreliable and unlikeable narrator. I think a whole lot of people will take offence to the themes and scream sexism but before you do just remember that this is a book relating to the Titans, Caeneus and Hercules who was biggest player in mythology - you wouldn't be able to retell these myths without some level of 'sexism' (get over it and get onboard the ship)
