Clytemnestra: Mother. Monarch. Murderer. Magnificent.

Casati, Costanza.

Notes
'Times' bestseller.
Indie Next Pick winner.
Condemned by Homer and the Greek poets as a sexually faithless, deceitful, murderous woman, the voice of the Spartan queen Clytemnestra is obscured by the judgement of history. This feminist retelling of Clytemnestra's story tells of a daughter betrayed by her father; who watches her sister be destroyed by violence and rape; whose child is sacrificed to ensure her family's power. She fights as fiercely as any warrior and falls in love with her husband's enemy. She is hungry for otherworldly retribution against both men and gods. This is Clytemnestra.
