A retelling of the traditional Greek myth of Psyche and Eros through a queer and feminist lens, grappling with the questions of how to harness the power of female and queer joy and cultivate freedom in a world that seeks to cage us.
The author seeks to challenge the notion that only white writers with European ancestry have authority on the subject matter, even if they do not necessarily have roots in Greece.
The novel deftly explores gender and power dynamics within and between the mythical and mortal realms ... A vulnerable, sensual, and joyous journey about living and loving in one’s truth.
