The story of Hades and Persephone is one of the more well-trodden Greek myths in literature, but seldom do we get to see this story told from the perspective of her mother, Demeter.
However, Winter Harvest by Ioanna Papadopoulou finally chronicles and brings Demeter’s story to light—from her time spent trapped in the darkness of her father's stomach to her being pursued by Poseidon to her rage and grief over losing her daughter.
Overall, this is an introspective, heartfelt novel about identity, the complicated ties of family, and motherhood that will enthrall fans of mythology retellings along the lines of The Witch's Heart.
Thank you, NetGalley and Ghost Orchid Press, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
