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. The Myths series brings together some of the world's finest writers, each of whom has retold a myth in a contemporary and memorable way. Authors in the series include Karen Armstrong, Margaret Atwood, A.S. Byatt, David Grossman, Natsuo Kirino, Alexander McCall Smith, Philip Pullman, Ali Smith and Jeanette Winterson.

An interesting book. I find listening to a book rather than reading easier. Personally I loved the reading they sounded beautiful and I felt it was well read. Personally it’s not my sort of book. But it’s a good interesting read.

The narration spoiled my enjoyment of the book. It was very distracting and sounded as if it was being read by a young teenager, in a very clipped and jerky fashion.
All emotions and circumstances were delivered in the same, almost robotic, voice.

Unbearable Narration
