I really liked this retelling. I’ve found it harder and harder to find ones I like but this one is so good. I feel like I rarely hear Penelope’s story, and in such detail as this. No one ever pays attention to what happens to her when Odysseus is on Ogygia. I also really liked the fact that it’s Hera as the narrator as she’s never painted in a good light in books.
