Product Description
PERSEUS, THE GOD-TOUCHED son of Zeus and a mortal princess, takes his easy life on the island of Serifos for granted, but he knows he lives in troubled times. First the gods, now the politicians, send trouble rumbling across land and sea.
When a beautiful stranger, a fugitive from another disaster zone, arrives on the island, Perseus is smitten. But Andromeda isn’t all she seems. She must die to save her people, and a stunning, world-changing discovery will die with her, unless Perseus abandons everything to confront the Medusa quest.

Brilliant fantasy January 15, 2008
"Snakehead" by Ann Halam - a fantastic new take on the Perseus legend, set in an ancient Mediterranean of timelessly real seafront cafes and tavernas. Perseus and his mother are refugees from mainland Greece, living on a small island and working in a restaurant. Then Perseus meets and falls in love with beautiful, god-touched Andromeda fleeing her sacrificial destiny. Soon they're off to find the Gorgon's head together.
In spite of the playful way Ann Halam tosses all kind of ingredients into the mix - Zeus, Perseus' divine bully of a father, arrives in a sort of visionary millionnaire's yacht, and one of Perseus' friends is actually from Peru, having drifted across the Atlantic on a balsa raft, but no one believes him even though he introduces the 'opotato' to the island's menus - this is a serious treatment of the myth. It's just stunningly original, and I loved it.
