Maya :)’s Reviews > The Penelopiad > Status Update

one of the most structurally intriguing books i’ve read, i really enjoyed her unconventional (if unsubstantiated) interpretations of penelope and the maids, as well as incorporating modern culture into ancient myth. my favourite narrative form was definitely the court case to criticise the prevalence of victim blaming in modern culture, using the maids to question how much better we are than our predecessors.
