The Penelopiad by Margaret AtwoodMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood is a must read for anyone who enjoys Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. This is the story of Penelope as told by her and the maids that were killed by Odysseus and Telemachus. It gives you a very different and refreshing perspective. Penelope was very clever and deserved her own book. The writing is excellent. The chapters told by the maidens are unique. Thoroughly enjoyable!
