In Greek myth, Alcestis is known as the ideal wife; she loved her husband so much that she died and went to the underworld in his place. In this vividly-imagined debut, Katharine Beutner gives voice to the woman behind the ideal and reveals the part of the story that’s never been told: What happened to Alcestis in the three days she spent in the underworld?
A masterful work of lust, passion, duty and shame; highest praise to this first novel of Beutner! The untold story of Alcestis is not one to be missed!
