![]() ![]() It is a dazzling achievement - Elodie Harper, author of The Wolf Den trilogy With this, her third novel based on ancient myth, has found a way of using all her classical erudition and her vivid sense of the ambiguous potency of the ancient stories, while being simultaneously very, very funny * Guardian * A fierce feminist exploration of female rage, written with wit and empathy. ![]() Haynes brilliantly pulls off the feat of seamlessly alternating humour and heartbreak, creating characters that stay with you long after the novel's end. * The Observer * Stone Blind is an exceptionally powerful retelling of Medusa's story, an emotional gut punch of a novel. Stone Blind acts as a brilliant and compellingly readable corrective. The Gorgon’s head will take on a new and powerful resonance as a symbol of the way stories can be warped by time. ![]() is a voice that feels at once bitingly (post)modern and filled with old wisdom. Witty, gripping, ruthless - Margaret Atwood via Twitter Beautiful and moving - Neil Gaiman via Twitter The rollicking narrative voice that energises Stone Blind. ![]()
