Leseprobe
- Inhalt:
- In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece â€" the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen â€" the gift of life. Now his wife, Galatea is expected to be obedience and humility personified, but it is not long before she learns to use her beauty as a form of manipulation. In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, she is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost... From the Orange Prize-winning author of The Song of Achilles, this short story is a dazzling retelling of the myth of Galatea.
