"A powerfully feminist, elegiac, and original twist on this old story." -Madeline Miller, bestselling author of The Song of Achilles
If I told you that I'd killed a man with a glance, would you wait to hear the rest? The why, the how, what happened next?
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 Perseus arrives on the island, her lonely existence is disrupted with the force of a supernova, unleashing desire, love, betrayal . . . and destiny itself.
With stunning, full-color illustrations and a first person narrative illuminating the fierce, vulnerable, determined girl behind the myth, this astonishing retelling is perfect for readers of Circe, and brings the story of Medusa to life for a new generation.

Recenzii
A beautiful and profound retelling. Burton's text and Lomenech Gill's art are a perfect match, offering a powerfully feminist, elegiac and original twist on this old story. The book tackles pain and trauma without flinching, but its message is ultimately one of joy and hope
Easily my read of the year. Sheer perfection from start to finish
This book is a beautiful excavation, uncovering the girl beneath the gorgon, the power within the punished. Exquisitely told, Medusa stole my heart from its first fierce lines
Fierce and tender and full of heart; the reclamation of self that Medusa is owed, the version of the myth that deserves to be told, passed girl to girl, painted across walls and screamed from rooftops
This glorious retelling of MEDUSA will stay with me for a very long time. The writing is stunning, as one might expect with Jessie Burton, and the story feels searingly, heartbreakingly relevant for the world we live in. It's a work of art
With Jessie Burton's characteristic lyrical and beautiful writing matched by stunning illustrations, I loved this story of survival, healing and bravery of all kinds. A moving retelling that will hold so much appeal for teens but also captivate adult readers of Circe and Ariadne
A beautiful and compassionate retelling that gives the serpent-headed monster of myth a powerful and haunting humanity ... Medusa's vulnerability, strength and journey of self-acceptance is one that will stay with me. Not only that by the illustrations by Olivia Lomenech Gill are so exquisite I would frame every single one and put them on my wall
A magnificent retelling of the Gorgon we know the most - Medusa - this title shows you the woman behind the myth
[A] beguiling, lyrical, but also relatable retelling of the myth of Medusa ... [that] reclaims her both as an ordinary teenage girl who was exploited, brutalised then punished and also as a feminist icon who refuses to be a victim when she can be a proud survivor. With gorgeous illustrations from Olivia Lomenech Gill, Medusa is a must read for women of all ages
Immerse yourself in Jessie Burton's poetic, powerful reclamation of Medusa's story... brought dramatically to life through magical illustrations by the British artist Olivia Lomenech Gill
This stunningly illustrated novel, from the author of The Miniaturist, refreshes an ancient myth in a way that empowers young women. If you enjoyed Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls, this is one for your Christmas List
Medusa is an impressive addition to the shelves of feminist retellings, balancing rage with beautiful storytelling
This stunningly illustrated novel ... refreshes an ancient myth in a way that empowers young women. If you enjoyed Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls, then this is definitely one to add to your Christmas list
Filled with vulnerability, raw emotion, betrayal and self-acceptance, this is a story that transcends its ancient time into a surprisingly relevant tale for girls today
Burton turns one of Greek mythology's most contested figures into a heroine fit for modern fiction
Destined to become as much an artefact of our own age as it is an illumination of the ancient past [...] bracing and powerful
It's an ideal gift for teenage girls finding their voice and their power
Medusa is perfect for young adults looking to dive deeper into the story of Medusa and the strength, love, and resilience that actually characterises her
A thought-provoking and gorgeously illustrated retelling
Utterly transporting ... This dynamic feminist retelling is illustrated with stunning, polychromatic power
[A] haunting reimagining ... Burton's take on the traditional adversaries humanizes both characters, blurring boundaries between hero and monster ... [the] angular, full-color illustrations add another layer of depth to the story
A gorgeous gift. The writing is beautiful, the story heartbreakingly relevant, and the illustrations are sublime
