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.

Pressestimmen

* Half-Dorothy Parker, half-Desperate Housewives. Independent * As potent as a curse. -- Lucy Hughes Hallett Sunday Times * Pragmatic, clever, domestic, mournful, Penelope is a perfect Atwood heroine. -- Sam Leith Spectator * Atwood takes Penelope's part with tremendous verve...she explores the very nature of mythic story-telling. -- Mary Beard Guardian * Atwood's typical wit and vim on fine display: with the late maids providing a Greek chorus, Penelope swoops across the centuries to pithily slate her cousin Helen of Troy, judge Odysseus and even provide a feminist viewpoint of which Homer could nary have dreamt.

LovelyBooks-BewertungVon Nicky_Foxley am 02.08.2024
Ein feministisches Epos über Penelope und ihre Mägde, das bekannte Mythen hinterfragt, aber sich teils in Modernität verliert.
LovelyBooks-BewertungVon Schmiesen am 30.12.2022
Re-telling of an ancient myth from a female point of view - modern, cynical, but slightly superificial.
