The Palace of Eros

<strong>'A brilliant and luminous writer' Madeline Miller, author of <em>The Song of Achilles </em>and <em>Circe</em></strong>

<strong>'Riveting, sublime, magical, and wildly subversive' Cristina Garcia, author of <em>Dreaming in Cuban</em></strong>

<strong>'A natural storyteller' <em>Washington Post</em></strong>

Beautiful, headstrong Psyche has captured the eye of every suitor - but also the jealous gaze of Aphrodite. When she is tied to a rock to be sacrificed to a 'monstrous husband', no monster arrives: instead, she is spirited away by Aphrodite's daughter Eros.

Eros, goddess of desire, can change gender at will. In her hidden palace, she visits Psyche under a cloak of darkness, unable to reveal her face. As they discover new pleasures together, Psyche is tempted to break her vow not to look...

<strong>Gloriously anarchic and seductive, Caro De Robertis' gender-fluid retelling of this classic myth is a masterpiece.</strong>

<strong>'A gorgeous retelling, and one I will no doubt read again! </strong>

<strong>'Overall, stunning prose, incredible chemistry, gorgeous characters, just a beauty of a retelling!' </strong>

<strong>'I cannot tell you how much I loved this, there will never be enough words to describe how much I enjoyed the experience of reading this (and believe me there were many tears involved)' </strong>
