Krátky popis
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. Seventeen years ago, king Odysseus sailed to
war with Troy, taking with him every man of fighting age from the
island of Ithaca. None of them have returned, and the women have
been left behind to run the kingdom. Penelope was barely into
womanhood when she wed Odysseus. Whilst he lived, her position was
secure. But now, years on, speculation is mounting that husband is
dead, and suitors are starting to knock at her door . . . But no
one man is strong enough to claim Odysseus' empty throne - not yet.
Between Penelope's many suitors, a cold war of dubious alliances
and hidden knives reigns, as everyone waits for the balance of
power to tip one way or another. If Penelope chooses one from
amongst them, it will plunge Ithaca into bloody civil war. Only
through cunning and her spy network of maids can she maintain the
delicate balance of power needed for the kingdom to survive. On
Ithaca, everyone watches everyone else, and there is no corner of
the palace where intrigue does not reign . . . 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 . . .
