In this retelling of the classic tale, Penelope of Ithaca takes center stage, and her story is told as it has never been before. While beyond the shores of Ithaca, the whims of gods dictate the wars of men, on the isle itself, it is the choices made by the abandoned women and their goddesses that will shape the world's destiny.
Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus set sail for Troy, taking every fighting-age man from Ithaca with him. None of them have returned, leaving the women of Ithaca to manage the kingdom. Penelope, who married Odysseus in her youth, is now faced with the uncertainty of her husband's fate and the arrival of suitors at her door.
As speculation grows about Odysseus's death and the struggle for power intensifies, Penelope knows that her choices could plunge Ithaca into a bloody civil war. Claire North weaves a daring, exquisite, and moving tale that brings ancient myth to life, focusing on the women who stand defiant in a world dominated by ruthless men.
"Ithaca" is a richly poetic and impassioned retelling of the story of Penelope, offering a unique perspective on the women of ancient Greece and the untold tales of their strength and resilience. It's a powerful exploration of history and myth.
This novel is the first book in "The Songs of Penelope" series, followed by "House of Odysseus."
