The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus - Atwood, Margaret

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight ripple to spine; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Penelope must bring up her wayward son, face down scandalous rumours, and keep over 100 lustful and blood-thirsty suitors at bay...When Odysseus returns and slaughters the murderous suitors, he brutally hangs Penelope's 12 beloved maids. Why? And what was Penelope up to? Atwood has given Penelope a wise and witty voice to tell her own story and set the record straight.
