What an emotional read! The main character is very real and easily identified with making her situation all the harder. I was a little confused with the story jumping between past and present but didn't effect the power of the story. The telling of the court case was fantastic, especially how she viewed the jury and I found myself hating the prosecution...couldn't they see how awful it all was?

I also liked how near the beginning, she described how her boyfriend (now husband) described all the Greek myths to her on holiday and then she goes on to refer to them throughout to describe situations.

I haven't read any of her books before but I do understand this is different to what she normally does.
