Stoneblind is a magnificent retelling of the Medusa myth. Natalie Haynes knows her mythology inside and out and is able to draw parallels between Medusa and Athene’s lives, enriched by the other women on the outskirts of the tale - Danae, Andromedea, and the other gorgons, Sthenno and Euryale.

It’s at the top of my myth retellings list, and I heartily recommend it.
