DESCRIPTION
20th Anniversary Edition 20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
Celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Margaret Atwood's iconic tale with this stunning hardback special edition that includes a new foreword by the author and an afterword by Philip Pullman - a volume to be gifted and coveted
WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR
AND AN AFTERWORD BY PHILIP PULLMAN
Now that all the others have run out of air, it's my turn to do a little story-making . So I'll spin my own thread.
Penelope . immortalised in legend and Greek myth as the devoted wife of the glorious Odysseus, silently weaving and unpicking and weaving again as she waits for her husband's return from the Trojan war.
Now, in Atwood's wise and witty retelling of the myth, Penelope wanders the underworld, spinning a different kind of thread: her own side of the story - a tale of lust, greed and murder.
