We found Medusa’s Sisters powerful, moving, and thoughtful. It reshapes a well known myth into a story about loyalty, grief, and reclaiming identity.
Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Before the snakes, before the gaze that turned flesh to stone, there were three sisters searching for belonging. Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale move through a world where immortality offers power but little protection, and curiosity about mortals draws them into danger they do not yet understand.
In Medusa’s Sisters, the familiar myth is widened to make room for the voices usually left behind. Stheno and Euryale step out from the margins of legend, not as monsters, but as sisters shaped by love, jealousy, and fierce loyalty. Their story traces a path from the sea to the uneasy edges of the Olympian order, where the attention of gods is rarely a gift.
The novel lingers on transformation in all its forms, asking what is taken when stories are simplified and who gets to survive history intact. Medusa’s fate is central, but it is the bond between sisters that gives the myth its weight, and its sorrow.
