Ithaca

In this bold reimagining by multi-award-winning author Claire North, the story of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, is brought to life, exploring the resilience and defiance of women in a patriarchal society. Set in Ithaca, where the men have gone to war and the kingdom is left in the hands of women, Penelope grapples with the looming threat of suitors and civil unrest as she navigates her uncertain future. As the tensions rise on the island, the choices of these abandoned women, alongside the influence of deities, hold the power to reshape their world.
