'Claire North brings a powerful, fresh and unflinching voice to
ancient myth - darkly fascinating, raw and breathtaking' Jennifer
Saint, author of Sunday Times bestseller Ariadne***A Sunday Times
Historical Fiction Book of the Year***This is the story of Penelope
of Ithaca, famed wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told
before. Beyond Ithaca's shores, the whims of gods dictate the wars
of men. But on the isle, it is the choices of the abandoned women -
and their goddesses - that will change the course of the world.'The
greatest power we women can own is that which we take in
secret.'Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus sailed to war with Troy,
taking with him every man of fighting age from the isle of Ithaca.
None of them has returned, and the women of Ithaca have been left
behind to run the kingdom. Penelope was barely into womanhood when
she wed Odysseus.While he lived, her position was secure. But now,
years on, speculation is mounting that her husband is dead, and
suitors are beginning to knock at her door. No one man is strong
enough to claim Odysseus's empty throne - not yet.But as everyone
waits for the balance of power to tip, Penelope knows that any
choice she makes could plunge Ithaca into bloody civil war . .
.From the multi award-winning Claire North comes a daring,
exquisite and moving tale that breathes life into ancient myth, and
tells of the women who stand defiant in a world ruled by ruthless
men. It's time for the women of Ithaca to tell their tale . ..
'Everything I've wanted in a retelling: a vibrant cast, full of
suspense, told with a phenomenal narrative voice - this is an
absolute masterpiece' Sarah Bonner, author of Her Perfect Twin'Told
in the arresting voice of the goddess Hera . .. Ithaca conjures up
a world in which women, abandoned by their men, must weave their
own destinies' The Times'Richly poetic . .. This is an impassioned
plea for the lost, disenfranchised queens of ancient Greece, a love
letter to the silenced women of history' Booklist'Claire North has
set a new standard for Ancient Greek retellings. Absolutely
sublime' Hannah Lynn, author of Athena's ChildThe Songs of Penelope
