Exceptional read
I could not put this book down once I had picked it up and I have re-read it so many times I've had to get a new copy! I loved the fresh take on the Persephone myth, it makes so much more sense in a way then the original story and is so well written that I felt everything that the main character was feeling and couldnt help but tear up at points.

If you love the Greek myths then you will not be able to forget this book! Not really suitable for younger readers but it isn't as graphic or sexual as other books I read when I was younger.

Well, my first read of 2019 is completed and I'm not sure exactly how I feel about this novel. I've had Sarah Perry's @The Essex Serpent on my bookshelf since it came out here in the US, but have never picked it up.
This novel utilized the myth of Melmoth the Witness (and its various iterations/spellings) and the atmosphere of Prague. Perry utilized an epistolary format for some of it, which I felt was effective. My biggest problem with the novel is that it was all very predictable, and I think it was because the foreshadowing was a little too obvious. That was what knocked this book down to just good.
