The Golden Mean

"Aristotle wrote much about happiness – but if we are to believe Annabel Lyon, his own lessons were lost on himself. In her debut novel, The Golden Mean, the acclaimed short-story writer shows us life through the great philosopher's eyes, and the view is largely cloudy. Cursed with both “a freakish brain” and a wit “as dry as mouse droppings,” this is a man for whom contentment exists only in the abstract." This was a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. If you relish Classical Studies this brilliant first novel will be right up your alley!
