Read April 2018.
Coming hot on the tale of Circe, my next read was also about the Greek myths.
This is a strange and short retelling of the story of Penelope, wife of Odysseus, as only Margaret Atwood can.
Margaret Atwood is not for everyone and although I have enjoyed some of her books, I am not sure if I really liked this.
The format of the chapters is a bit unusual, alternating between Penelope's narrative, and dramatic scenes told by a chorus of Greek maids. The bits by the maids were not really for me, but I did enjoy Penelope telling her side from beyond the grave.
A bit of a mixed bag.
