An exemplary work of art. Classics geeks, rejoice! For others: Oedipus is a character much known by the public conscious (with dubious thanks to Freud?) so do give it a try. The novel steadfastly adheres to existing plot points in the associating tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides (with a clever nod to the Homeric Odyssey), yet the tale we assume we are familiar with morphs into something entirely spectacular. As female characters are blessed with life and agency, and in turn stand out from their roles in the extant mythos, we readers are given a new tale that may completely subvert your original thoughts of the old. Altogether it's a novel and worthwhile read - and for me, certainly a wonderful way to start off Christmas Day!
