Title: Perfect Book Group Choice
Review: Our small book group discussed "Jocasta" as a wild card in our list of choices. It turned out to be the most interesting and enjoyable book we have read in several years, eliciting enthusiastic reaction and provocative exchanges.Grossack and Underwood show extraordinary skill as storytellers. Despite the characters, main events, and the ending of this much told myth being known to the reader, the tension is maintained to the last page. Greece of over three thousand years ago comes alive, with characters fully developed and scenes described in such realistic color and detail that one feels personally involved in this mythological drama. "Jocasta" is quite a page-turner and a splendid read.
