Sinossi

Turning to Ariadne, the Mistress of the labyrinth, the author asks for advice about how to face the end of times: aging and death. Just as the Cretan story of the Minotaur describes a journey towards death, Matthews travels labyrinths with her husband and others while consulting with her imaginary guide about what lies ahead. Unlike a maze which can trick and deceive you, leading to blind alleys and dead ends, the labyrinth is a trustworthy route on which you cannot be lost. Matthews follows the winding path, reflecting on poetry, folklore and psychology while receiving wisdom from the mythical Ariadne.
