A slave to his own curiosity and intellect, Aristotle has never been able to resist wit in another--even in a girl child who should be content with the kitchen, the loom and a life dictated by the womb. And oh, his little Pytho is smart, able to best his own students in debate and match wits with a roomful of Athenian philosophers. Is she a freak or a harbinger of what women can really be? Pythias must suffer that argument, but she is also (mostly) secure in her father's regard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut then Alexander dies a thousand miles from Athens, and sentiment turns against anyone associated with him, most especially his famous Macedonian-born teacher. Aristotle and his family are forced to flee to Chalcis, a garrison town. Ailing, mourning and broken in spirit, Aristotle soon dies. And his orphaned daughter, only 16, finds out that the world is a place of superstition, not logic, and that a girl can be played upon by gods and goddesses as much as by grown men and women. To safely journey to a place in which she can be everything she truly is, Aristotle's daughter will need every ounce of wit she possesses, but also grace and the capacity to love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e256 pages, Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published January 1, 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e266g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terrier Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49127867744356,"sku":"9780307359452","price":9.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4869\/4628\/files\/IMG_1864.jpg?v=1788289796","url":"https:\/\/terrierbooks.com\/fr-us\/products\/the-sweet-girl-annabel-lyon","provider":"Terrier Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
