“[A]n engaging, subversive reimagining of the tale of the eponymous Greek heroine who is upheld as a shining example of the dutiful wife” (Jacqueline Carey).

In Greek mythology, Alcestis is known as the good wife; she loved her husband so much that she died and went to the underworld in his place.

This compelling new take on the classic story gives voice to the woman behind the ideal: What were her true motivations? And what happened to Alcestis in the three days she spent in the afterlife?
