The Two Lives of Penelope by Judith Vanistendael
5.0
Penelope is Odysseus! A woman who cannot live away from the war because war haunts her, and ghosts of the victims follow her wherever she goes!
Penelope does not understand that war is everywhere! The peaceful life at home is a war itself!
I loved every bit of it! So humane and full of thought-provoking details! Penelope is consumed by the cruelness of war, but that could not prevent me from blaming her! I loved the husband's character, the real Penelope in this story! The writer/illustrator managed to convey the idea of everywhere is a battlefield so cleverly!
I definitely recommend it!
