he passionate life and loves of Sappho, poet of Lesbos…<\/p>\n

The turbulent, colourful society of Greece in the 6th century B.C. is the setting for this panoramic portrait of a great poet, lover, teacher and, above all, woman – Sappho of Lesbos.<\/p>\n

The gentle security of her childhood having been shattered by the accession of the Tyrants, Sappho is sent into exile for political dissidence, and from there begins the long struggle to regain her birthright – culminating in her return to Lesbos, hailed as the greatest poet of her age.<\/p>\n

Sappho’s poetry shines out of the darkness of time to show a life filled with passion, danger, and magnificent, vigorous characters.<\/p>\n

Told through the words of Sappho herself, and those of her friends and lovers, this is a lyrical, engrossing novel, as full of colour and invention as the world it brings to life.<\/p>\n
