Sappho: A Mythic Sapphic Novel
It all started on an ‘unsinkable’ ship, caught in the eye of a raging storm. Here, politics and passion collided and by an act of the Gods, a young slave girl is spared and given another chance at life—a life beyond even her wildest imaginings. They said a slave could not surpass her master… They said a wife is the property of her husband… They said women had no place in a ‘man’s world’... Three courageous women choose to break the rules... to follow their hearts, leaving a trail of mystery, myth and legend so bizarre that it has taken almost 3000 years to uncover.

I was so excited for this but it wasn’t great :(
I love the idea but the writing is confusing, inconsistent and clunky, not a lot really happens I read it quite quickly and found it difficult to follow and boring. I honestly enjoyed the non-fiction parts at the beginning and end much more than the main story.
