Description
Claire North's Ithaca is a daring reimagining of ancient myth, breathing life into the women who stood defiant in a world ruled by ruthless men. This is the story of Penelope, famed wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told before. Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus sailed to war with Troy, taking with him every man of fighting age from the island of Ithaca. Now, speculation is mounting that his husband is dead, and suitors are beginning to knock at her door. Penelope knows that any choice she makes could plunge Ithaca into bloody civil war. The balance of power is precarious, and the choices of the abandoned women - and their goddesses - will change the course of the world. Beyond the shores of Ithaca, the whims of the gods dictate the wars of men. But on the island, it is the choices of the women that will shape the future.
