I read this in one sitting and was mesmerized by the lyrical retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Although it was a fast-paced read, I had a hard time connecting to the characters. I didn’t feel like it was real. It was whimsical, it was entertaining, but it wasn’t real to the extent of love in the modern era.

But alas, I am no longer a teen so do not take my word for it. Go forth and read this hauntingly beautiful tale and tell me, would you fall as stead fast as Ella did for Orpheus ?

I really appreciate the elements of the retelling. It was true to the myth with its own unique storyline and narrator.
