Sheer perfection from start to finish' - Catherine Doyle The book tackles pain and trauma without flinching, but its message is ultimately one of joy and hope' - Madeline Miller ![]() ![]() ![]() Burton's text and Lomenech Gill's art are a perfect match, offering a powerfully feminist, elegiac and original twist on this old story. ![]()
