Dancing the Labyrinth is a powerful and profound celebration of women's resilience, courage and indomitability. Neos Kosmos

When Cressida falls pregnant, her overwhelming fear is that she will pass on her father's violent DNA. It takes an ancient matriarchal culture to teach her otherwise.

Dancing the Labyrinth moves between contemporary and ancient Crete in this tale of a young woman from an abusive background who discovers the veiled history of Europe's most advanced civilization of the Bronze Age – the Minoans.

Karen Martin's spellbinding debut brings women's history into the public arena – relevant in today's landscape of the #MeToo movement and #EnoughisEnough
