Sunday Times Children's Book Of The Week
This self-sufficient follow-up to Adèle Geras’s powerful novel Troy imagines events on Ithaka during the years in which Penelope awaits the return of her warrior husband Odysseus... [and]amounts to a riff on the subject of desire, rediscovering in Homer’s ancient story the full, enduring force of its passion and violence. Young adults will be thrilled. NICOLETTE JONES
