This graphic novel tells the story of Demeter, the Greek goddess of the harvest, and her daughter, Persephone. Demeter rules over a perpetual summer on earth, where crops, trees, and flowers grow in abundance. Persephone, young and beautiful, unknowingly attracts the attention of the lonely god of the Underworld, Hades. Hades kidnaps Persephone, and a frantic Demeter searches in vain for her daughter. Finally, Demeter retreats to her temple in mourning. The goddess's sorrow causes the crops to die and the ground to freeze. The first winter falls over Greece. As people begin to starve, the other Olympian gods and goddesses try to convince Demeter to accept a marriage between Persephone and Hades. But Demeter will not give up her daughter forever to the Underworld. Finally a compromise is struck: Persephone will stay with Hades for half a year (winter). When she comes back from the Underworld to spend half a year with her mother, spring returns to earth.
I may be a bit biased in my review because I grew up in the South Buffalo area during the 1970's and can totally relate to the situations and areas that the author mentioned in the book.
I can relate to Molly, who is trying to find her place in the world and is torn between wanting to be more than another South Buffalo housewife and wanting to stay with what she is used to and familiar. I read this when I was a child and loved it back then. My brother was a misdiagnosed bipolar suffer not unlike me, but 10 years ago he took his life but set me on a life sentence of anger and disappointment from him. An extremely informative book,in a world where antibiotics
are prescribed for any and all ailments Dr. The book basically just about day trading, that you may or may not make money doing it, and a few simple definitions. One that would easily tell me the number of days in April rather than having to rely on a silly rhyme or counting on my knuckles. After reading Pat Barker'
