The Children Of Jocasta by Natalie Haynes
Narrated by Ismene, the often-overlooked daughter of Jocasta, this reimagining gives voice to the sidelined women of Thebes as she traces her family’s ruin—Oedipus’s horrifying discoveries, the bitter quarrels and civil war between his children, and her sister’s brave, tragic stand—while unpicking the myths of fate, blame and heroism to expose how stories about power and suffering are told and by whom.
