The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood

You know the Odyssey. Now discover Penelope's slyly brilliant side of the story.

Penelope. Immortalised in legend and myth as the devoted wife of the glorious Odysseus, silently weaving and unpicking and weaving again as she waits for her husband's return.

Now Penelope wanders the underworld, spinning a different kind of thread: her own side of the story - a tale of lust, greed and murder.

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Blind Assassin and The Handmaid's Tale Margaret Atwood
