Title
Penelope. Immortalized in legend and myth as the devoted wife of Odysseus, silently weaving and unpicking and weaving again as she waits for her husband's return.

Now Penelope wanders the underworld, spinning a different kind of thread: Her own side of the story is a tale of lust, greed and murder.

Atwood breathes new life into the classic story by giving a voice to Penelope

'Atwood's Penelope is irreverent and shrewd...breathes new meaning into a familiar story.' New York Times

'As potent as a curse.' Sunday Times

'Pragmatic, clever, domestic, mournful, Penelope is a perfect Atwood heroine.' Spectator

'Visually stunning and unforgettable.' NYT Book Review

'A witty desecration.' Observer
