Threads - Susan Wright

In a moment of fury, the goddess Atropos cuts the thread of life of Moira's baby and refuses to end Paul's life even though he is terminally ill, but actions have repercussions.

While Moira tries to avoid grief by running away from the past and Paul seeks to make the most of his reprieve in ways that annoy his wife and amuse his son, Atropos must evade the wrath of Zeus and endeavour to put things right.

As they all find ways to come to terms with their fate, they discover a great deal about themselves, about life and about what death might mean.
