Description:Listening Length = 9 hours and 45 minutes“A breath of fresh air from an ancient tale” (Kirkus Reviews) that “will captivate readers” (Publishers Weekly): When Phaedra is assaulted by her stepson, Hippolytus, she refuses to remain silent. But will the society of Athens listen to the truth? “Fans of Madeline Miller, Jennifer Saint, and Natalie Haynes will enjoy this sweeping tale” (Library Journal) with full-cast narration.Phaedra has been cast to the side all her life: daughter of an adulteress, sister of a monster, and now unwilling bride to the much-older, power-hungry Theseus. Young, naïve, and idealistic, she has accepted her lot in life, resigned to existing under the sinister weight of Theseus’s control and the constant watchful eye of her handsome stepson Hippolytus. When supposedly pious Hippolytus assaults her, Phaedra’s world is darkened in the face of untouchable, prideful power. In the face of injustice, Phaedra refuses to remain quiet any longer: such an awful truth demands to be brought to light. When Phaedra publicly accuses Hippolytus of rape, she sparks an overdue reckoning. The men of Athens gather to determine the truth. Meanwhile, the women of the city, who have no vote, are gathering in the shadows. The women know truth is a slippery thing in the hands of men. There are two sides to every story, and theirs has gone unheard—until now. Timely, unflinching, and transportive, Laura Shepperson’s Phaedra carves open long-accepted wounds to give voice to one of the most maligned figures of mythology and offers a stunning story of how truth bends under the weight of patriarchy but can be broken open by the force of one woman’s bravery.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
