This is an enchanting recapturing of the events leading up to the story of Theseus -- and of its culmination in the minotaur myth. One has a sense of living in the period in ancient Greece; of experiencing with the band of youths and maidens the training for the ring which held their fate as victims of the lust for vengeance on the part of the ruler of Crete. There's a poignant love story-with a tragic ending -- but the book as a whole merits acceptance as giving veracity to the period in history so recently brought to life by archaeological discoveries.

Ferber's work also drew on the oppression she felt she had experienced as both a woman and a Jew. Subjected to antisemitism as a child, she felt she had gained strength from facing her tormentors.
