<section> <h3>About The Book</h3> <p> Stone Blind retells the story of Medusa, one of Greek mythology’s most famous and misunderstood figures. </p> <p> For centuries, Medusa has been remembered as a monster with snakes for hair and a deadly gaze. Natalie Haynes challenges that narrative by exploring the woman behind the myth and the events that shaped her transformation. </p> <p> The novel examines themes of injustice, power, vulnerability, and how stories change depending on who gets to tell them. </p> <h3>Why You Should Read It</h3> <p> This book is a powerful reminder that mythology often remembers outcomes but forgets circumstances. </p> <p> Instead of asking only “What happened to Medusa?”, Stone Blind explores “Why did it happen?” and “Who was Medusa before she became a legend?” </p> <p> Readers who enjoy feminist retellings and stories that challenge traditional narratives will find this a deeply engaging read. </p> <h3>What Makes It Memorable</h3> <p> The emotional power of Stone Blind comes from seeing a familiar myth from a completely different angle. </p> <p> It explores how society labels women, how power influences stories, and how easily victims can be misunderstood when history is written by others. </p> <h3>Perfect For Readers Who</h3> <ul> <li>Love mythology retellings</li> <li>Enjoy stories about misunderstood women</li> <li>Prefer feminist interpretations of classics</li> <li>Like literary fiction with deeper themes</li> </ul> </section>
