NO FRIEND TO THIS HOUSE

Haynes is the modern embodiment of the best of Homer Radio Times No Friend To This House is an extraordinary reimagining of the myth of Medea from The Sunday Times bestselling author of Stone Blind Natalie Haynes This is what no one tells you in the songs sung about Jason and the Argo This part of his quest has been forgotten by everyone but me Jason and his Argonauts set sail to find the Golden Fleece The journey is filled with danger for him and everyone he meets But if he ever reaches the distant land he seeks he faces almost certain death Medea priestess witch and daughter of a brutal king has the power to save the life of a stranger Will she betray her family and her home and what will she demand in return Medea and Jason seize their one chance of a life together as the gods intend But their love is steeped in vengeance from the beginning and no one not even those closest to them will be safe Praise for Natalie Haynes Witty gripping ruthless Margaret Atwood on Stone Blind Fiercely feminist A many layered delight The Guardian on A Thousand Ships Passionate and gripping Madeline Miller on The Children of Jocasta
