The Penelopiad retells The Odyssey from Penelope’s perspective, blending myth with feminist insight. As Odysseus’s wife narrates from the underworld, she reflects on her life, the maids hanged upon his return, and untold truths. Atwood’s witty, poignant prose reimagines a classic. Published by Canongate Books, this novella offers a fresh take on a familiar tale within her diverse catalog.
