Dancing the Labyrinth

Dancing the Labyrinth

Author(s): Karen Marten

Location(s): Crete

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Modern

In this dual time novel, Cressida travels to Crete to escape her troubled past. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers she is pregnant. Cressida fears her child will inherit her father’s abusive traits and her mother’s dismissive, uncaring nature. In her quest for answers, she uncovers the history of the Minoans, and unveils ancient traditions from this matriarchal society which challenge her beliefs.
Dancing the Labyrinth is the first book in the thematic series Women Unveiled. Each novel can be read separately but is united by a distinctive feminine narrative probing societal boundaries. The series blends Greek mythology, history and imagination in the telling of (almost true) stories.

Dancing the Labyrinth is a powerful and profound celebration of women’s resilience, courage and indomitability.
