Many years have passed since the end of the Trojan War, and Penelope is still waiting for her husband, Odysseus, to return home. The city of Ithaka is overrun with uncouth suitors hoping to marry her, thereby gaining control of the land. But when a naked, half-drowned man washes up on the beach, everything changes. Told through the eyes of Klymene, a young girl who is like a daughter to Penelope, this is a timeless story of passion, jealousy, gods, and royalty in the aftermath of war.

Industry Reviews

*"In this sequel to Troy, Geras once again shows her skill at fashioning multi-dimensional characters from mythological figures and making them accessible to a 21st-century audience...Lovers of Greek mythology will appreciate the authentic flavor of this book, but readers need not be familiar with The Odyssey to follow the plot or to recognize themes of loyalty and unrequited love, which are brilliantly and movingly displayed throughout this ambitious, gripping novel." -Publishers Weekly (January 2, 2006, starred review) [set star] "Themes of loyalty and unrequited love . . . are brilliantly and movingly displayed throughout this ambitious, gripping novel."--Publishers Weekly (starred)
