Marina Warner interweaves myth and legend, history and politics, to create a kaleidoscopic fable about exile and loss.When a mummy in the Museum of Albion is unpacked, it is found to contain a bundle of curious documents that tell of the wanderings of an unknown woman - Leto. In a far-off era, Leto gives birth to twins, shelters with wolves, survives in a desert stronghold, stows away on a ship and works as a maid in a war-torn city. Here, she loses her son but saves her daughter. As the novel sweeps through time to the present day, Leto reappears in different guises. Finally, she begins to search for her son…"Warner brilliantly communicates the kaleidoscope of cultures, tribes and nationalities encountered by Leto on her epic journey. Driven by a mystery that keeps the reader guessing to the final pages... Beautifully written, the language rich and sensuous, with a seductive range of references... Tremendous fun."  -  Literary ReviewMarina Sarah Warner is a British novelist, short story writer, historian and mythographer.
