The Sappho Romance (Lesvos Island Collection) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A Sapphic tale of love and intrigue...

The best-kept secret of antiquity—the veil has finally been lifted on the legend of Sappho and her true love, Phaon. A vivid tale of rivalry, passion, power, loss and love.

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.

Praise for this book:
“This is a great yarn interwoven with misunderstandings and subterfuge worthy of a Shakespearean love story.”

“An absolutely thrilling and intelligent tale...”
“Alternative lesbian history at its best... a must read!”
