Psyche and Eros

DEBUT The myth of Psyche and Eros is a classic love story for the ages that McNamara adapts into an unputdownable book. Psyche and Eros’s perspectives provide glimpses into Greek mythology and history, such as the Trojan War and the tale of Adonis. There are also several other Easter eggs that fans of Greek mythology will enjoy. This novel provides poignant commentary about how women have been treated and depicted throughout myths and legends of the past. They were often an expendable means to an end for the hero or the trophy they won at the end of their journey. Psyche refuses to be either and takes her journey into her own hands. Readers who have enjoyed Madeline Miller’s and Jennifer Saint’s retelling of Greek myths will enjoy this novel. The text is beautiful and poetic, immersing the reader into the world of ancient Greece, while still reading like a modern novel.
