Medusa by Jessie Burton, illustrated by Olivia Lomenech Gill

A feminist retelling of the famous

Greek myth of the woman with a head of snakes, Medusa explores the story of the girl beyond her monstrous reputation. Written in beautifully lyrical language by The Miniaturist author Jessie Burton and brought to life with stunning illustrations by Olivia Lomenech Gill, Medusa is perfect for young adults looking to dive deeper into the story of Medusa and the strength, love, and resilience that actually characterises her. Filled with vulnerability, raw emotion, betrayal and self-acceptance, this is a story that transcends its ancient origins and is a surprisingly relevant tale for modern girls.
