"Lyrical, imaginative, visceral, urgent, moving, adventurous. Rose Blythe brings The Fates startlingly back to life. This is how the ancient Greeks would have known The Fates - and their own fates * Sean Lusk, author of THE SECOND SIGHT OF ZACHARY CLOUDESLEY * Passionate, angry, empowering and beautiful * Louise Beech, author of NOTHING ELSE * This is a gorgeous novel. Amidst the now formidable number of feminist mythological retellings, The Fates is a clear stand-out. The prose is truly lyrical and immersive. The characters - mortal and divine - are beautifully drawn. And as for the plot twist... I doubt any readers will see this one coming! For lovers of reimaginings of Greek myths, The Fates is a must-buy * Mark Knowles, author of ARGO * The Fates is beautifully written and conceived. The storytelling is effortless, yet fiercely and satisfyingly feminist. A gorgeous read! * NYDIA HETHERINGTON, author of A GIRL MADE OF AIR * A mesmerising blend of mythology and modernity speaking ""the mother tongue."" A tale, capturing the heart in a world where we are lost. * Defne Suman, author of THE SILENCE OF SCHEHERAZADE * Fascinating reading * Belfast Telegraph *"
