Atalanta by Jennifer Saint

 4.5 out of 5 stars

Thank you Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.


First off let me say that it was fantastic to read a retelling of Atalanta and Jennifer Salt did a wonderful job of weaving the story and pulling you in. I have always been fascinated with mythology and the Greek mythology really interested me more than others, perhaps because my given name is that of a Goddess.  There were moments where I found myself crying but in the best ways. Beth Eyre did a wonderful job narrating the story.

Greta Goldbaum from Vienna does not really want to marry her English cousin Albert she does it anyway as that is what is expected and though Greta is a defiant girl she also knows that the sometimes you have to do what is expected. Greta is a fun, gregarious girl while Albert is a serious and quiet man. This novel takes us up through most of World War 1 and we follow the family through it all. With the war brewing we see how anti semitism began to take control of certain parts of Europe. A sweeping tale with Greta at the center this was a novel that I could not put down and though it was a bit long I managed to read it in 24 hours. There were a few slower parts but the characters and storylines were enough to keep me hanging in there. This is the first ...
