Description - Girl Meets Boy: The Myth of Iphis by Ali Smith
According to Ovid, when Iphis's mother fell pregnant, her husband threatened to kill the child if it was a girl. When Iphis was born, her mother raised her as a boy. Later, Iphis fell in love with another girl, and prayed to be allowed to marry her. The gods responded by transforming Iphis into a man, so that she could wed the love of her life. From the bones of this great cross-gender myth, Ali Smith conjures a spellbinding story that leaps across the centuries, making the myth sing again.
