There is little to nothing I can complain about with this novel. Like the author herself, I have a great fascination and love for Euripides' Medea. Rosie Hewlett's novel perfectly expands and novel-ises the myth into something more human, which is honestly an achievement, as it has always been my opinion of the Greek tragedies I've read that Medea was already the most human of the myths.

Highly recommend.
