3 journalers for this copy...

Girl meets boy. It's a story as old as time. But what happens when an old story meets a brand new set of circumstances?
Ali Smith's remix of Ovid's most joyful metamorphosis is a story about the kind of fluidity that can't be bottled and sold. It is about girls and boys, girls and girls, love and transformation, a story of puns and doubles, reversals and revelations. Funny and fresh, poetic and political, here is a tale of change for the modern world.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Sending to someone from the UK 2024 birthday group.

Thank you so much for all my birthday goodies

Been meaning to read this for a long time and while it's perhaps not one of Ali Smith's usual novels but more a modern retelling or modern interpretation of Ovid's Iphis legend, it's beautifully written and captivating. I must admit I had to look up Ovid's mythical story first and I really liked the way Ali Smith made an ancient myth still relevant in our own times

Spotted on a friend's wishlist so will be sending on soon
