Review
"
Half-Dorothy Parker, half-Desperate Housewives.
" (Independent)"
As potent as a curse.
" (Lucy Hughes Hallett Sunday Times)"Atwood takes Penelope's part with tremendous verve...she explores the very nature of mythic story-telling." (Mary Beard Guardian)
"Atwood's typical wit and vim on fine display: with the late maids providing a Greek chorus, Penelope swoops across the centuries to pithily slate her cousin Helen of Troy, judge Odysseus and even provide a feminist viewpoint of which Homer could nary have dreamt." (Observer 2008-03-09)
"Pragmatic, clever, domestic, mournful, Penelope is a perfect Atwood heroine." (Sam Leith Spectator)
