This is bound to prove to be the best thing I've read in quite a while. Atwood magically writes Penelope's tale (wife of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey) in the first person. I was instantly captivated by the first line: "Now that I'm dead I know everything." Six parts in and I love it! Why haven't I heard of this book before?
