Brilliant. Not at all clear that it's a children's book. An extraordinary re-creation of a myth in a way that explains how myths are created, and why they aren't just myths.

During a summer vacation in a secluded Welsh valley, three young people find themselves driven by the spirits of three mythical lovers to reenact an ancient tragedy.
