It's in the nature of myth to be infinitely adaptable. Each of these startlingly original stories is set in modern Britain. Their characters are ordinary people, preoccupied, as we all are now, by the deficiencies of the health service, by criminal gangs and homelessness, by the pitfalls of dating in the age of #metoo. All of their stories, though, are inspired by ones drawn from Graeco-Roman myth, from the Bible or from folk-lore. The sort of book you can't stop reading.
