We are so excited to welcome Jennifer Saint to Edinburgh for a special evening to celebrate the release of her new book Atalanta! 

Jennifer's debut novel Ariadne was a Rare Birds Book Club pick in 2021. Her spellbinding reimagining of familiar Greek myths have made her a firm favourite and bestselling author in store. 

From a special larger venue at Stockbridge Parish Church we'll be sitting down to discuss Atalanta and her love for Ancient Greek mythology. We can't wait! 

Tickets are £5 and can be redeemed against any purchase of a book on the evening. 

About the book 

When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.

Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta, is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis.

Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason's band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?

About the author 

Jennifer Saint grew up reading Greek mythology and was always drawn to the untold stories hidden within the myths. After thirteen years as a high school English teacher, she wrote ARIADNE which tells the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur from the perspective of Ariadne - the woman who made it happen. Jennifer Saint is now a full-time author, living in Yorkshire, England, with her husband and two children. Both ARIADNE and ELEKTRA are Sunday Times bestsellers.
