Greatly enjoyed this dark, feminist take on the Odessey. What would the Odessey be like from Penelope's point of view? What was it like to be taken away from one's family, abandoned by one's (admittedly narcissistic, philandering) husband, and hounded by would-be suitors? Masterfully done. Atwood lends much complexity to a character that had otherwise come off as one-dimensional.
