An Evening With Jennifer Saint at Waterstones Newcastle

Jennifer Saint will be in conversation with Cinzia Hardy talking about her new book 'Hera'.She was always born to rule, but must she lose herself in perpetuating this cycle of violence and cruelty? Or can she find a way to forge a better world? Often portrayed as the jealous wife or the wicked stepmother, this retelling captures the many sides of Hera, vengeful when she needs to be but also compassionate and mostly importantly, an all-powerful queen to the gods.Releasing Hera from her eternal reputation as a cruel and vengeful stepmother, this luminous retelling from the author of Ariadne and Elektra casts fresh light on the indomitable Greek queen of gods.
