A Novel Author: Jennifer Saint Read Excerpt About This Book A spellbinding reimagining of the story of Elektra, one of Greek mythology’s most infamous heroines, from Jennifer Saint, the author of the beloved international bestseller, Ariadne. A dystopian thriller that has shaped our understanding of history, politics, and culture since its publication. We were also joined by Chris from the central libraries team to talk about his book recommendation Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Jennifer speaks with us about the inspiration behind her novels and why it’s so important that we revisit our classical myths with a new lens. Her debut novel breathes new life into the myth that many of us know as “Theseus and the Minotaur”, retelling the story through the eyes of Ariadne and Phaedra, the two princesses of Crete. As Princesses of Crete and daughters of the fearsome King Minos, Ariadne and her sister Phaedra grow up hearing the hoofbeats and bellows of the Minotaur. Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne, joins us in this episode of the Love Your Library podcast. ![]()
