Description
Claire North brings a powerful, fresh and unflinching voice to ancient myth in her final novel in the Songs of Penelope trilogy. This is the story of Penelope of Ithaca, famed wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told before. For twenty years, Penelope and the women of Ithaca have guarded the isle against suitors and rival kings, but peace cannot be kept forever. A beggar has arrived at the Palace, and Penelope recognises in him something terrible: her husband, Odysseus, returned at last. But this Odysseus is no hero. By returning to the island in disguise, he is not merely plotting his revenge against the suitors - vengeance that will spark a civil war - but he's testing the loyalty of his queen. Penelope must use all her cunning to win a war for the fate of the island and keep her family alive, whatever the cost. The song of Penelope is ending, and the song of Odysseus must ring through Ithaca's halls.
