About

Author Rosie Hewlett delves into Greek mythology and takes us on a journey of persecution, torment, power and revenge with her Sunday Times Bestseller Medea.

Throughout her life, Medea has been shunned by her mother, separated from her sister, and tormented by her father and brother. All because she possesses a mysterious and powerful gift – magic. But when a dashing young hero, Jason, arrives to claim the famed Golden Fleece that her father fiercely protects, Medea sees her opportunity for escape.

In this dark and epic feminist retelling, Ancient Greece’s most powerful and complex woman is explored in a bold and unflinching new way.

Biography:

Having secured a first-class honours degree in Classical Literature and Civilisation at the University of Birmingham, Rosie Hewlett has studied Greek mythology in depth and is passionate about unearthing strong female voices within the classical world. Her self-published debut, Medusa, won the Rubery Book of the Year award in 2021.

The author will be signing books, which will be available for purchase at the event.
