Why read it?

1 author picked Hera as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

To read Hera is to read Jennifer Saint at her best: it was such a joy to enter the world of Olympus with her, and to see Hera reclaimed from her usual role of nagging wife and overbearing queen with a fierceness and a complexity that stayed with me long after I closed the book. The scope and ambition of the novel is breathtaking. Read it!
