Mehso-so

The story of Odysseus's homecoming, told alternatively from Odysseus's and Penelope's point of view.

For much of this book I felt it was just a re-telling of the second half of the Odyssey which stuck too close to the original. It was only after Odysseus (disguised as the beggar) and Penelope met and the two tricksters start manoeuvring round each other that I really thought we were getting anything new.

Loved it! 💜 Penelope gets her revenge and Odysseus gets to remain true to his exaggeratory & vainglorious nature. I won‘t spoil it by revealing how! Ingenious though.

A testament to the rich imagination and humanity of Homeric lit that the stories live on thru retellings that never feel stale.
