So. I am unbelievably excited to read this book! What incredible comps!! What made you decide to tell a story about a sea voyage? And, an adjacent question, can you talk about what ways your books relates to The Odyssey?
Anna Bright
I didn't necessarily set out to write about a voyage, but I wanted to retell fairy tales, and I wanted to retell them in the countries where they're rooted. (This is, of course, setting aside the fact that stories migrate and morph and where a story is "from" is usually highly debatable."
As far as ties to the Odyssey-- Selah has a connection both to Penelope and to Odysseus. The former is a little hard to explain out of context; the latter is simply that, like Odysseus, all she wants is to go home, but duty and affection and danger seem to pose obstacles every step of the way.
