WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL RUBERY BOOK OF THE YEAR AND RUBERY FICTION AWARD 2021. READERS' FAVORITE SILVER MEDAL WINNER 2021.
Within the depths of the Underworld the formidable snake-haired Gorgon has finally had enough. Tired of being eternally and unjustly brandished a villain, Medusa has found the courage to face her tragic past and speak out. Determined to expose the centuries of lies surrounding her name, Medusa gives unparalleled insight into her cursed life, from her earliest memories and abandonment at birth, right through to her tragic and untimely death at the hands of the hero Perseus. Through telling her story, Medusa finally reveals the lost truth behind antiquity’s most infamous monster. Medusa breathes new life into an ancient story and echoes the battle that women throughout millennia have continued to wage – the opportunity to simply be heard.
"I was so absorbed by the furious, passionate voice of Medusa interspersed with biting commentary."
Jennifer Saint, author of ARIADNE
"Hewlett impressively captures the voice of a woman who has been silenced and shaped by men into something she never wanted to be. Lovers of mythology are sure to be pleased by this deeper look into Medusa’s origin story."

Eine Saga aus der Feder einer Frau
Die Autorin beschreibt hier das Leben und die Geschichte von Medusa aus der Sicht einer Frau. Ist sie die herzlose, Monströse Kreatur aus den Sagen? Oder ist sie das Ergebnis von Gewalt und Misshandlung durch Männer die sich durch ihre gesamte Biografie ziehen? Es gibt immer wieder heftige Szenen die aber gut dazu beitragen die Figur Medusa besser zu verstehen. Ich fand das Buch sehr bestürzend, traurig aber wahnsinnig gut geschrieben.
There were moments, especially when Medusa addressed the reader directly, where the tone felt a bit too modern and pulled me out of the story. This was slightly disappointing, because the author has a beautiful way of describing scenes and creating atmosphere in a more classical style. However, despite that, I truly enjoyed the story overall.
