  • Why we love it: This pocket-sized read is part of Read Furiously’s One ‘n Done series, short reads with big impact. Myth retellings are a fun way to explore age-old stories with a new twist and the Persephone/Hades myth starring two women opens up the conversation of nature as a powerful feminine force.

About the Book

A 2023 selection for the Reads Rainbow Sapphic Picks, The Path Home is a queer reimagining of the classic Persephone and Hades myth.

Bryony has just graduated college, and instead of moving to Brooklyn to start her summer fellowship, she has found herself drawn back to her rural hometown in the Adirondacks. A town where she left behind her feelings for her childhood love, Iris. Upon her return home, Bryony notices that the nature surrounding her hometown is dying and no one will talk about Iris.

A.J. Pellegrino has recontextualized a classic story of nature's duality to create a novella that subverts traditional gender norms and creates a beautifully haunting tale perfect for fans of Alix E. Harrow and Lee Mandelo.
