Mrs. N's Fiction pic of the month...

Spin is a retelling and reimagining of Ovid's Myth about Arachne, a poor young country girl known for her incredible weaving. Traditionally, Arachne is depicted as boastful and thinks she is superior to Minerva the goddess of weaving.

This book is written in verse from Arachne's point of view. In it, she reclaims her body and her story and against society norms she challenges the gods to understand and do something about the mistreatment of women. Devastating and possibly triggering this novel is a gorgeous, fierce page turner that I highly recommend!
