No Friend to this House
by Natalie Haynes
Natalie Haynes turns to one of the most compelling and tragic figures of Greek myth: Medea. Beyond the well-sung details of Jason's quest with the Argonauts, a different story unfolds. Medea, a powerful priestess and witch, holds the key to Jason's survival, but saving his life means betraying her family and home. As her love for Jason grows, it becomes steeped in vengeance, a force that will endanger everyone they hold dear. In this breathtaking retelling, Haynes opens a forgotten chapter of myth, offering a powerful, fresh perspective on a classic tragedy.
