Signed copies available while stocks last
Book is hand-signed to the title page

Penelope … immortalised in legend and Greek myth as the devoted wife of the glorious Odysseus, silently weaving and unpicking and weaving again as she waits for her husband’s return from the Trojan war.

Now, in Atwood’s wise and witty retelling of the myth, Penelope wanders the underworld, spinning a different kind of thread: her own side of the story – a tale of lust, greed and murder.

20th Anniversary Edition with a new foreword by the author and an afterword by Philip Pullman.
