Book Review:
The Children of Jocasta is a powerful and gripping reimagining of the Oedipus and Antigone myths from acclaimed author Natalie Haynes. The story follows two forgotten women: Jocasta, who is married to the King of Thebes at fifteen, and Ismene, who is attacked in the palace she calls home. With these events, a tragedy is set in motion – but not as you know it. Haynes brings fresh light to these ancient stories, giving voice to the women silenced by myth. A visceral, engrossing, and beautifully written novel that will stay with you long after the final page. A must-read for fans of mythological retellings.
