Medusa - Jessie Burton

\n \nA dazzling, lyrical YA retelling of Greek myth, from Jessie Burton, internationally bestselling author of The Miniaturist and The Muse. \n \nA powerfully feminist, elegiac, and original twist on this old story. --Madeline Miller, bestselling author of The Song of Achilles \n \nIf I told you that I'd killed a man with a glance, would you wait to hear the rest? The why, the how, what happened next? \n \nExiled to a far-flung island by the whims of the gods, Medusa has little company except the snakes that adorn her head instead of hair. But when a charmed, beautiful boy called Perseus arrives on the island, her lonely existence is disrupted with the force of a supernova, unleashing desire, love, betrayal . . . and destiny itself. \nWith stunning, full-color illustrations and a first person narrative illuminating the fierce, vulnerable, determined girl behind the myth, this astonishing retelling is perfect for readers of Circe, and brings the story of Medusa to life for a new generation.\n
