Why read it?
1 author picked The Year-god's Daughter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book will transport you straight back to the Crete of the Bronze Age. I felt I was taking every step with the characters.

The society, bound by ritual and ruled by a queen and her priestesses who are constantly searching for signs of approval from the goddess, is utterly believable. It's a fascinating mix of actual history and myth, where the Gods and Goddesses are as real as they were to the people living in those times.
From Greta's list on historical fiction that carry you to another time.
