Great intro. Superb finish. Nothing in between pages 32 and 324. I love Greek mythology and hoped to see something other than in name only. Persephone's mom was treacherous, but touted to love her. She did not divulge her schemes to her daughter, Persephone, of whom she placed in harms way. Between the crossings of the river, an accord was forged and feelings were wrought. The "it's-only-for-three-months" was ever on the minds of both partners to the extent that it became a mantra in the book.
