Claire North has crafted a remarkable narrative with her Songs of Penelope trilogy, capturing the essence of timeless myth while infusing it with a modern perspective.

For two decades, as Odysseus embarked on his legendary journey and failed to return, Penelope and the women of Ithaca have vigilantly protected their homeland from unworthy suitors and ambitious kings. Amidst the rising tension, a mysterious beggar arrives at the palace, dismissed by others but recognized by Penelope as her long-lost husband, Odysseus. However, this Odysseus is not the celebrated hero of yore. Disguised upon his return, he harbors a complex internal struggle, poised to unleash vengeance that threatens to plunge the island into chaos. As he tests the fidelity of his queen, Penelope must summon all her wit to navigate the impending conflict, safeguarding her family and the future of Ithaca. Critics have praised the series for its compelling narrative and evocative depiction of forgotten women in ancient Greece, with the concluding chapter setting a high bar for retellings of these classic tales.
