Publisher's Summary
In The Children of Jocasta, Natalie Haynes retells the Oedipus and Antigone myths to reveal a new side of an ancient story....
My siblings and I have grown up in a cursed house, children of cursed parents....
Jocasta is just 15 when she is told that she must marry the King of Thebes, an old man she has never met. Her life has never been her own, and nor will it be unless she outlives her strange, absent husband.
Ismene is the same age when she is attacked in the palace she calls home. Since the day of her parents' tragic deaths a decade earlier, she has always longed to feel safe with the family she still has. But with a single act of violence, all that is about to change.
With the turn of these two events, a tragedy is set in motion. But not as you know it.

Outstanding in every way..
I am a fan of mythological tales.. specially when they are told from a different view point or are reimagined. I absolutely loved this tale of tragedy, sacrifice and hope. Kristin is an engaging narrator and I personally think this is by far one of the best audiobooks I've heard.
