This book will transport you straight back to the Crete of the Bronze Age. I felt I was taking every step with the characters.

It's a fascinating mix of actual history and myth, where the Gods and Goddesses are as real as they were to the people living in those times.
From Greta's list on historical fiction that carry you to another time.
