Bow down to the Queen of Mount Olympus!


Jennifer Saint has done it again! After her previous BEST-selling books - Ariadne, Elektra and Atlanta, we now have Hera! 🔱🇬🇷⚜️


Jennifer Saint's latest work is a breathtaking feminist reinterpretation of the life of Hera, the formidable queen of the gods and the eternal goddess of marriage.


In Hera, Saint amplifies the voice of a character often sidelined in Greek myth, overshadowed by other gods, and historically reduced to a simplistic portrayal as a jealous, spurned wife.


Through this fresh retelling, Saint continues her crusade to illuminate the stories of overlooked women, reclaiming their ambitions from historical neglect.


Saint's elegant prose shines throughout the narrative, effortlessly spanning vast periods while maintaining a captivating pace. Hera


is a must-read for enthusiasts of Greek mythology and aficionados of skilfully crafted feminist reinterpretations, showcasing Saint's mastery in giving voice to the silenced.


Thank you so much to the author - Jennifer Saint as well as the whole team at Headline Books for the ARC and beautiful PR box!
