bel017's review against another edition

 CW for rape (but she had a reason to turns men to pigs, so what did you expect?). I know very little of Greek mythology, so the story was news to me. It was great to see a woman at the center of her own story, and that Miller didn't shy away from the difficult parts. There's a fierce kind of joy in the attempt to take ownership of her own life. Well written, intense and engaging.
