About this listen
The women you know, the stories you don’t …
Two thousand years ago, a Roman poet picked up his pen and dared to wonder what a heroine might sound like. Now, the women of Greco-Roman myth are speaking once more. And they have stories to tell …
A murderous Medea stalks the streets of Belle-Epoque Paris, knife in hand, while a 17th-century Penelope faces accusations of witchcraft. Phaedra languishes, a bored and lonely Hollywood housewife until her husband brings home his dashing young son. Canace battles the dangers of the American Frontier, Sappho rebels against the rigid confines of academia and her relationship, while Dido must decide between desire and duty … in a 12th-century nunnery.
And Helen? Helen just longs to be given a choice. It’s not going to be easy – it will be grisly at times – but in their determination to break free from the shadows of myth, to harvest a new ending for themselves, there’s bound to be darkness, bound to be a little collateral damage ...
Reimagined, scattered throughout history, united by the timeless struggle of existing as women in what has always been a man’s world, these heroines, encouraged and enlivened by the pen of another woman, speak loud and clear to us today.

A love letter to the female experience
A love letter to the ancient women and a completely fresh retellings on their stories. By displacing these women through different places and times, Dark Harvest revels in the timelessness of the female experience, and how even though a millennia has passed, life might not be so different to that of the ancient women.

Fantastic. A brilliant read.
Not the sort of book I normally read but this is sooooo good. Really hooks you from the get-go and is super intriguing throughout. Very much enjoyed listening during my holiday and will definitely get more from this author.
