Description
Cressida flees to Crete from an abusive upbringing. Nothing goes to plan when she discovers she is pregnant. Her overwhelming fear is she will pass on her father's violent genes.
After discovering a cave of ancient Minoan paintings, she learns about their history and is compelled to confront her own truths.
Dancing the Labyrinth is a young woman's odyssey. It is a celebration of women's history, courage, friendship and hope.
Dancing the Labyrinth is the first book in the thematic series Women Unveiled. Each novel can be read separately but are united by a distinctive feminine narrative challenging societal boundaries. The series blends Greek mythology, archaeological and historical research with imagination in the telling of (almost true) stories.
