Book Synopsis



¡Oh, Musa! Háblanos de ella.
¿Qué pasó con Penélope tras el regreso de Ulises?
Fue entonces cuando empezó el gran viaje,
aquel que nunca ha sido contado.
El que la historia ha borrado.
Oh, Musa, cuéntanos en estas páginas su odisea.

Fueron veinte años los que Penélope esperó a su marido. Durante ese largo tiempo, reinó Ítaca y crio al futuro monarca, Telémaco. Sin embargo, a su regreso, Ulises decidió expulsarla por traición convirtiendo el destino de su esposa en un misterio. Pero ¿acaso puede alguien creer que la mujer que engañó a mil pretendientes de entre los hombres más poderosos de Grecia --tejiendo un sudario infinito para dilatar el tiempo-- se rendiría sin más? Esta novela nos cuenta el viaje de Penélope después de su exilio. Un relato repleto de emoción y aventuras, de historia y mitología, que nos sumerge en la antigua Grecia y nos transporta hasta el corazón de una mujer capaz de arriesgarlo todo para hacer justicia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Tell me of her, O Muse!
What happened to Penelope after Ulysses' return?
That's when the great adventure began,
the one that was never told.
That history erased.
O Muse, tell us of her odyssey in these pages.

Penelope waited for her husband for twenty years. During that time, she ruled Ithaca and raised the future king, Telemachus. But upon his return, Ulysses banished her for treason, and her fate after that is a mystery. Are we expected to believe that the woman who deceived countless suiters, among them some of the most powerful men in Greece - weaving an endless shroud to postpone the moment of her decision - would give up so easily? This novel tells the story of Penelope's journey in exile. Full of thrills and adventure, history and mythology, it transports the reader to Ancient Greece and into the heart of a woman willing to risk everything for justice.
