There's originality and flair in the picture of a world where the gods have both the familiarity and star appeal of glossy media personalities, and Whitman makes Hades and Persephone (Hadephone? Persades?) a glam celebrity couple that everyone will want to read about., A terrific story of a girl on the edge of womanhood, caught between a mother who offers no reverence and a boy who offers worship., Whitman amplifies both the heady romance and Earth-goddess themes with poetic, sensual descriptions of nature's intoxicating fertility.she skillfully humanizes Persephone with archetypal scenes of mother-daughter tension.
