Description
Clytemnestra is a story of a woman driven by vengeance and a desire for power. Betrayed by her father and forced to witness the destruction of her sister, she becomes a fighter, a conspirator, and a queen. Her voice is often obscured by the judgement of history, but Costanza Cosati's debut novel brings her to life in all her complexity. This is the story of a woman who refuses to be defined by the expectations of others. Clytemnestra's strength and cunning, her grief and rage, are all part of a fierce determination to take control of her own destiny. With a dazzling narrative that explores the consequences of war on women, this novel is a powerful exploration of one woman's fight for power and survival. By shedding light on the often-maligned Clytemnestra, Cosati's novel offers a fresh perspective on a legendary figure. A woman who understood that power is not given, but taken - Clytemnestra's story is one of resistance, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of justice.
