As punishment, Psyche is tied to a rock to be sacrificed to a monstrous husband. And yet, no monster arrives: instead, she is spirited away by Aphrodites daughter Eros.Eros, goddess of desire, can change gender at will. And in her hidden palace, she visits her bride under the cloak of darkness: Psyche is forbidden to gaze upon the face of her lover. But as they explore each others bodies and discover new pleasures, Psyche is tempted to break her vow… even if it brings down the wrath of the gods.A gloriously anarchic and seductive retelling of the myth of Psyche and Eros, groundbreaking, gender-fluid and hugely enjoyable, this is a masterpiece from Caro De Robertis, a writer described by Madeline Miller as brilliant and luminous.
