In this exquisite collection of poetry, Isabelle Pandora Byrne delves into a personal history peppered with challenges, threats, desires and self-realisation. Blending together her own life experiences with mythological figures from Greek history, she weaves a delicate yet iron-strong story of a woman undone, slowly learning how to stitch herself back together in the most challenging of circumstances. Both thrilling and comforting, the words in these pages are a stark reminder that pain lies even in the most beautiful of places — and to conquer it, sometimes one must learn to love oneself, faults and all.
