Exiled to a far-flung island by the whims of the gods, Medusa has little company except the snakes that adorn her head instead of hair:
But when a charmed, beautiful boy called Perséus arrives on the island, her lonely existence is disrupted with the force of a supernova,
unleashing desire, love and betrayal ..
Talking directly to the reader and capturing the intoxication of an impossible romance, Jessie Burton's Medusa is a deeply moving story about consent, the abuse of power, beauty and ugliness, and being comfortable in your own skin.
