first time reading such a genre, also, found it quite hard to understand but it's a me problem. still, it was a great short read.

Madeline Miller nunca me decepciona. En un tono completamente distinto a sus otras obras da un giro de tuerca a la versión de Ovidio para relatar la crudeza de una vida forzada y encerrada por la locura y la misoginia de un hombre. La dureza del relato se conjuga muy bien con la belleza fría de las ilustraciones de Ambra Garlaschelli. Sin duda, toda una joya.

Cute, short, n sweet. I really enjoyed the feminist twist on the classic. A lot of these old stories could do with a female perspective going "what the fuck?"
