She's a waitress. He's a chef. They used to be best friends, but now, they're in love and living together in a studio apartment. She's also a selkie, Odysseus, and a cowgirl called Quick Fingers. He's a really good man.When he asks her to marry him, Hero panics. She is lots of things but one thing she doesn't want to be is anybody's wife. Drawing on a rich history of myth and legend, and yet unmistakeably of the moment, this is a love story and a story about what it means for women to be supporting characters in a world written by men.
