Radiant Darkness by Emily Whitman

Radiant Darkness by Emily Whitman, 274 pages

What if Persephone was a young woman wishing to be free of her controlling mother, Demeter. What if Hades and Persephone had met and fallen in love? What if Persephone went willingly to the Underworld to be with Hades forever? What if Demeter destroyed the Earth searching for the daughter she believes has been kidnapped? What if Persephone has to choose to leave the husband she loves or let the Earth die? All these "what ifs" are answered in this beautiful tale told in first person -- almost in a diary style. If you enjoy Greek Mythology, you will like this book.
