(Not a review, just some notes to help me remember the things I've read. But written this way because it's the Internet, and some people will stumble across this page.)
This was a suggestion from the library.
The quick review is that I didn't give this book much of a chance as I listened to it while I was out walking. I don't recall too much of it other than (mostly) what I already knew.
As with Circe, it's an attempt to "rehabilitate" a character while telling a life story, piecing it together from all the other myths she appears in.
Hera becomes more than the aggrieved wife and more her own woman. She still hates Heracles though.
It took some getting used to the pronunciations of some of the gods and some place names, but I got used to it. Are they correct? I don't know. But hearing Ares as "R's" was odd.
It was pleasant to listen to, but I didn't listen to it a second time like I might've if it were a book club selection.
