The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood
adventurous
dark
reflective
fast-paced
4.0
If it were just Penelope’s perspective it would’ve been a 3 star range rating. However, the addition of the 12 Hanged Maids as a narrative chorus elevated my rating and really made the entire retelling worthwhile. Definitely a unique retelling that was executed well.
