In which I have definitely heard the Jocasta/Oedipus story at least twice and still COMPLETELY FORGOT ALL THE DETAILS AND WAS SHOCKED BY VARIOUS TWISTS

*Well, not THE twist

Not relevant to the book itself but when have I let that get in the way of a good review... 10/10 for fans of Ye Olde Classics etc etc.
