Luna McNamara author of Psyche and Eros You know her name you know her story. Just not the
right one... Within the depths of the Underworld the formidable snake-haired Gorgon has
finally had enough. Tired of being eternally and unjustly brandished a villain Medusa has
found the courage to face her tragic past and speak out. Determined to expose the centuries of
lies surrounding her name Medusa gives unparalleled insight into her cursed life from her
earliest memories and abandonment at birth right through to her tragic and untimely death at
the hands of the hero Perseus. Through telling her story Medusa finally reveals the lost truth
behind antiquity's most infamous monster. Medusa breathes new life into an ancient story and
echoes the battle that women throughout millennia have continued to wage - the opportunity to
simply be heard. Readers love Rosie's writing... 'This book is up there with Song of
Achilles as one of my all-time favourite retellings ' ' Heart-breaking and beautiful' ' Any
