With Greek myth as its framework, this novel has the trappings, though not the structure, of a tragedy. Most engaging is Kindl's ability to imagine what it would have been like for a princess to live in the labyrinthine Palace of Knossos, to be in love with a slave, to try--and fail--to save those she loves, and to live after that failure. Attentive to archaeological detail and emotional probity, Kindl brings the Minotaur myth to life.
