Megan Barnard recommends
Mother of Rome (2025)
Lauren J A Bear
"I loved Mother of Rome and the characters who peopled it. A beautiful novel about Rhea Silvia, a woman who refuses to go quietly, fighting until her last breath for her home and her children. A brilliant retelling that shows the power of a woman with nothing left to lose, this novel about the genesis of Rome will captivate readers from the first page."
The Witch of Colchis (2024)
Rosie Hewlett
"A moving story of deep love and deep betrayal, The Witch of Colchis is a gripping portrait of a woman pushed to the brink, a woman who will do anything to protect herself and those she loves-even if it destroys her. In this wonderful novel, Hewlett transforms the ghoulish villain of Medea into a complex woman fighting for her life in a world made for men and monsters."
Daughters of Olympus (2024)
Hannah Lynn
"Hannah Lynn takes an old tale and makes it new with her brilliant retelling of Demeter and Persephone. A novel that is at once tender and rage-filled, this story delves deep into the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship in a beautifully rendered world of gods, monsters, and mortals. This is a book you'll be thinking about long after you've finished the last page! A must-read."
