title

Sappho's Leap

fullDescription

Fearless and unrestrained Sappho is Erica Jong's most unforgettable heroine. Sappho's Leap is a journey back 2, 600 years into the heart and mind of the greatest love poet the world has ever known. At the age of fourteen, Sappho is seduced by the beautiful poet Alcaeus, plots with him to overthrow the dictator of their island, and is caught and married off to a repellent older man in hopes that marriage will cause her to behave. Instead, it leads to a series of amorous adventures with both men and women, taking her from Delphi to Egypt, and even to the Land of the Amazons and the realm of Hades. Erica Jong-with her unique grasp of the mercurial wonders of sex and love-has found the perfect subject for a witty and sensuous tale of a woman ahead of her time. A generation of readers who have formed alliances with Jong's past heroines will be newly enchanted by her re-creation of the immortal poet.

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: In this fictional "memoir", Erica Jong brings the exotic Greek poet Sappho to life. Jong's passionate voice rivals that of Sappho herself. In the telling of the story, Jong also brings a good deal of knowledge of the gods and goddesses worshipped in early Greece. Jong's voice changes as each character contributes his or her part in the telling of Sappho's memoir. Not to be missed by those who have whispered Sappho's poems in moments of desire. R.S.E.
