Huntress, Lover, Argonaut - a rebel in ancient Greece. The king of Arcadia desires a son and heir. He abandons his daughter Atalanta in the wilderness. A she-bear raises the girl, and Atalanta becomes strong and wild, faster and more enduring than any warrior. Artemis, the virgin goddess of the hunt, protects her and warns her to beware of men. Yet Atalanta falls in love and embarks on a journey with the Argonauts. With the stolen golden fleece and the deadly Medea on board, Atalanta sails back to Arcadia. She is determined to find her place in the world, where she can love and be herself. Behind all gods and heroes stand women. Jennifer Saint gives a voice to the women of antiquity. She brilliantly narrates the strong emotions and complexities of these women. The author succeeds in transforming the world of myths into a reality that feels anything but contrivedly modern. At some point, you find yourself in the labyrinth and can't stop reading. On par with Madeline Miller's novels.
