Girl Meets Boy is a bold and joyous retelling from Ovid's Metamorphoses by the award-winning, bestselling author of How to be Both.
‘And it was always the stories that needed the telling that gave us the rope we could cross any river with. They balanced us high above any crevasse. They made us be natural acrobats. They made us be brave.’
Girl meets boy. It's a story as old as time. But what happens when an old story meets a brand new set of circumstances?
Ali Smith's remix of Ovid's most joyful metamorphosis is a story about the kind of fluidity that can't be bottled and sold. It is about girls and boys, girls and girls, love and transformation, a story of puns and doubles, reversals and revelations. Funny and fresh, poetic and political, here is a tale of change for the modern world.
'Exuberant ... Slender, sweet natured and lyrical.'
Guardian
'Girl Meets Boy pulls you in and doesn't let you go ... bold and brilliant.'
Jackie Kay, award-winning author of Trumpet
'An ecstatic, exhilarating helter-skelter ride of a story.'
Financial Times
'[Smith's] dancing prose and nimble storytelling are palpable hits.'
