От издателя
“Eurydice is a luminous retelling of the Orpheus myth from
his beloved wife’s point of view. Watching it, we enter a singular,
surreal world, as lush and limpid as a dream—an anxiety dream of love
and loss—where both author and audience swim in the magical, sometimes
menacing, and always thrilling flow of the unconscious… Ruhl’s
theatrical voice is reticent and daring, accurate and outlandish.” —John
Lahr, New Yorker
A reimagining of the classic myth of
Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding
day, Eurydice journeys to the underworld, where she reunites with her
beloved father and struggles to recover lost memories of her husband and
the world she left behind.

Incredible retelling
This was an amazing read, I love this myth and I loved how the writer put a more modern spin on it. The portrayal of everyone was very much how I imagined it would be, I thought it was a very emotional tale as well; in fact, I even started to tear up towards the end. I have not seen the play but just by reading it I was entertained and attached with the story (though that might just be me because like it said I have heard this tale before) I will definitely be rereading it. It managed to stay similar to the Greek mythological origins of the story while still being more modernized, which in my opinion is a very hard task to do well. I loved it, 10/10
I genuinely love each and every retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice. From HadesTown to the Hades game, and this book I have consistently fallen in love with them over and over again. <3 THEY ARE LITERALLY SO PRECIOUS AND ADORABLE AND DEPRESSED I CANTTTT 😖😭
