3.5 out of 4 stars! ⭐️
The plot of this book just kept turning, it was so good. The characters and the storyline was so thrilling!

I would say that the book is more directed to age 13/14 than older teens/adults which I wasn’t expecting but I didn’t look into before buying.

Very much looking forward to reading the sequel though!

So bloody amazing!!! It’s funny, interesting, thoughtful and sort of sad at the same time.
I love the new perspective that these poems give all these women and the whole concept of this anthology.
Defo recommend!

Forever trying to find books that live up to this.
So informative and thought-invoking, I will be thinking about this book for years.

Women & Power was personal and emotive whilst also being so powerful and informative with getting the point across. Mary Beard delivered this essay so beautifully. I will definitely be reading others books by her!

I wish I read this book at 16 because god I needed it.
It’s still relevant to me now and I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was so warming to read.
The author has a way of knowing exactly what you need to hear and speaking to the heart of the reader.
So bloody good.
I would recommend everyone give this to a teenage girl in their family. They defo need to read this book.

A beautiful collection of heartbreaking, powerful, sad & beautiful. This was such a great book and I so enjoyed reading into Halsey’s mind. I am a fan of her music so I knew I would be a fan of their poetry. Halsey’s songs read so beautifully so their poetry is just as mesmerising. I love her.

I would recommend checking trigger warnings before reading.
Halsey’s pronouns are she/they :)

I love Mary Barnard’s translation of Sappho’s poems.
I love Sappho and loved this book. Especially loved the Mary Barnard’s explanation of the translations and sappho’s life.
