I chose this novel because I am on a streak of mythology retellings, and this one was quite good. I liked the frame of what happened on Ithaca while Odysseus was gone, with the women as the main characters/movers and narrated by Hera, of all people. At points, it got too intricate and drawn-out, but I was pleasantly surprised, having gone in fairly blind. As I told a friend, it's not as good as Circe, but it feels like Circe.
