Tunbridge Wells Literary Festival presents; Rosie Hewlett - Medea

Tunbridge Wells Literary Festival hosts award-winning author Rosie Hewlett as she discusses her new tale of mythology, magic and vengeance, Medea.

She will have her revenge and everyone will know her name…

Throughout her life Medea has been shunned by her mother, separated from her sister, and tormented by her father and brother. All because she possesses a mysterious and powerful gift – magic.

But when a dashing young hero, Jason, arrives to claim the famed Golden Fleece that her father fiercely protects, Medea sees her opportunity for escape. Her offer to help Jason overcome the trials set by her father sets in motion a journey that will test every ounce of her strength, magic and loyalty; a journey that will see her battle monsters, dethrone kings and fall in love. But when faced with the ultimate betrayal, Medea is driven to an act of desperation so brutal it rips apart the lives of everyone involved...

From the award-winning author, Rosie Hewlett, Medea is an unmissable mythology retelling which explores Ancient Greece's most powerful and complex woman in a bold and unflinching new way.
