| Summary | "Sappho's Journal" by Paul Alexander Bartlett is a historical novel written in the early 21st century. The narrative brings to life the famous Greek poet Sappho, offering a richly detailed exploration of her inner world, passions, and the tumultuous events of 642 B.C. Through Sappho's intimate reflections, the book delves into themes of love, beauty, solitude, and the struggles of a woman artist in a male-dominated society. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Sappho as she navigates the complexities of her life, characterized by longing, love, and heartbreak. Amidst a turbulent storm, she contemplates her experiences with friends, lovers, and the shadow of war looming over her island home of Mytilene. Sappho reflects on her relationship with Alcaeus, her brother Charaxos, and the younger women in her life, showcasing her emotional depth while setting the stage for personal and social conflicts that will shape her narrative. Through lyrical prose and vivid imagery, the opening evokes the setting and mood, inviting readers to share in Sappho's poetic and tumultuous existence.
