I wanted to read this book for years and finally read it and now I'm so underwhelmed by it.

I expected it to be more of Penelope's story than just her perspective on things that happened in the Odyssey. Yes, we discover what her afterlife is like (a little bit) but I just wanted more from it. I expected something along the lines of Madeline Miller's Circe.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy the choir of the maids and the feminist standpoint.
