​

For twenty years, Penelope waits. While Odysseus becomes immortalized through tales of monsters, gods, and impossible journeys, she wages a quieter battle—against time, expectation, and the relentless suitors who threaten everything she has left. But when the hero returns, the true tragedy belongs not to kings, but to twelve forgotten maids whose voices history refused to hear. The Penelopiad is Margaret Atwood's haunting, witty, and fiercely contemporary retelling of The Odyssey—a spellbinding blend of myth, music, and memory that invites audiences to question every story they've ever been told.
