Rosie Garland has a passion for language nurtured by public libraries. She writes fiction and poetry, and sings with post-punk band The March Violets. Her debut novel The Palace of Curiosities won the Mslexia Novel Competition and was longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize. Subsequent publications have been widely recommended by The Times, The Guardian and The Sunday Times. In 2023, she was made a Fellow of The Royal Society of Literature. The Fates sees Rosie take her writing in an exciting new direction.

A clever, twisting, turning story of the three Fates - not a trio of bitter, withered hags who cruelly preside over human lives but as fierce and determined sisters in battle against the vicious gods of Olympus. I absolutely believed this novel, and the brilliant way in which the story of Atalanta and Meleager became the fight for human destiny and the future of mortals. The ending - like the rest of the novel - is truly sublime, and becomes a reflection on free will and fate, on women's voices and the power of myth that spoke to me on so many levels. This is a really thrilling and totally original story of Greek mythology that I cannot recommend highly enough!
