No Friend to This House: A Gripping Feminist Retelling of Greek Myth

From Natalie Haynes, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Stone Blind, comes an extraordinary reimagining of the myth of Medea. This novel explores the story of the exiled daughter, abandoned wife, and vengeful mother, asking where the truth truly lies in the classic tragedy.

The narrative follows Jason and his Argonauts on their perilous quest for the Golden Fleece. Medea, daughter of the brutal king who guards the fleece, possesses the power to save Jason. Her choice to betray her family and home for a passion steeped in vengeance sets the stage for a story where no one remains safe.

Based on the classic tragedy by Euripides, this is Medea as you’ve never seen her before.
