The Gods in Winter

The Gods in Winter PDF (Adobe DRM)

by: Patricia Miles and Tamora Pierce

A highly imaginative novel, set in England, inspired by classical mythology. On the surface a story about an English family relocating to a research center in the countryside, this lively family story turns out to be a retelling of the myth of Persephone in a contemporary setting. Even for those without any knowledge of the Greek myth behind it, this is a wonderfully told, suspenseful story. Anyone who reads will rush to brush up on Demeter and Persephone, and sigh in satisfaction at the clever way Miles has reworked that ancient tale.
