a blog about a novel about Aristotle's daughter ~ by Annabel Lyon
An exhilarating book, both brilliant and profound. Annabel Lyon’s spare, fluid, utterly convincing prose pulls us headlong into Aristotle’s original mind. Only Lyon’s great-hearted intelligence could have imagined and achieved the brave ambition of this book. Vital, ferocious and true, The Golden Mean is an oracular vision of the past made present.
--Marina Endicott, author of Good to a Fault
In Lyon’s clever hands, more than two thousand years of difference are made to disappear and Aristotle feels as real and accessible as the man next door. With this powerful, readable act of the imagination, Annabel Lyon proves that she can go anywhere it pleases her to go.

I am just about to finish The Golden Mean and I read that you may do a sequel from the point of view of Little Pythias. I know you're not planning to finish this for years but I am already anticipating getting a first glimpse. I LOVE The Golden Mean, am waiting to read the last few pages because I don't want it to end. Please write the sequel!!! I know lots of other people would love to read it too!
Joan, thanks so much for your kind words - I really appreciate this! All the best -
Annabel
