Fearless and unrestrained, Sappho is Erica Jong's most unforgettable heroine. Sappho's Step is a journey back 2,600 years into the heart and brain of the best romantic poet the earth has ever known. At the age of 14, Sappho is seduced by the beautiful poet Alcaeus and plots with him to overthrow the dictator of the island. Sappho is caught and hitched off to a repellent old man hoping that marriage will cause her to behave. Instead, it leads to a series of amorous adventures with both men and women, taking her from Delphi to Egypt, to the Land of the Amazons and the realm of Hades. Erica Jong, with her unique understanding of the mercurial wonders of sex and love, has found the perfect subject matter for a witty and sensuous story of a woman before her time. A era of listeners who have produced alliances with Jong's earlier heroines will be recently enchanted by her re-creation of the immortal poet.
