ATWOOD MARGARET THE PENELOPIAD

A fresh take on what follows Homer's The Odyssey by the international best-selling author of
The Handmaid's Tale  Margaret Atwood. Now that all the others have run out of air  it's my turn
to do a little story-making . . . So I'll spin my own thread. Penelope. Immortalised in legend
and myth as the devoted wife of the glorious 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 - a tale of lust  greed and
murder.   The Myths series brings together some of the world's finest writers  each of whom has
retold a myth in a contemporary and memorable way. Authors in the series include Karen
Armstrong  Margaret Atwood  A.S. Byatt  David Grossman  Natsuo Kirino  Alexander McCall Smith 
Philip Pullman   Ali Smith and Jeanette Winterson.
