Heartfelt, hilarious and inherently hopeful, A Beautiful Evil is a stunning reimagining – and reclamation – of the myth of Pandora. I fell in love with this story – the irresistible grumpy-sunshine romance, the piercing social commentary, and the lyrical, poetic prose. It is a powerful reminder that strength lies in our differences, and that hope is eternal. A joy from start to finish. Bea Fitzgerald has done it again!
Lauryn Hamilton Murray, author of Heir of Storms
Nobody is reinventing Greek mythology like Bea Fitzgerald – full of laughter, romance and drama, her books deliver brilliant ancient tales for a modern audience, and all set in the most beautifully realized magical world. I would read ANYTHING she writes.
Elodie Harper, bestselling author of The Wolf Den
Bea brings her wry, witty and utterly fresh perspective to the myth of Pandora, fleshing a much-maligned figure into a woman brimming with heart, joy and intellectual inquisitiveness. She cleverly turns a misogynistic story on its head, inviting the reader to consider Pandora's curiosity as a strength rather than a flaw - and encouraging us to question everything we've been told before in the process. Bea finds a brilliant and startling way to tie up the loose ends of myth and gives us a beautiful love story as well as the tale of a woman finding out who she is and what she wants. An empowering and thoroughly entertaining novel.
Jennifer Saint, bestselling author of Ariadne
