- Synopsis
- From the author of I, Claudius: &“A re-weaving of Homeric myth reveals the true story of The Return of Odysseus for Nausicaa&” (Kirkus Reviews). In this innovative re-imagining of the Odyssey&’s history, Sicilian princess Nausicaa recounts her story, and how she, not the poet Homer, came to write the Odyssey. Set in the eighth century BC, it recounts the story of a determined young woman who lives an adventurous life: rescuing her father&’s throne from outside threats, freeing herself from an abusive marriage, and saving her two younger brothers from certain death. Nausicaa is a passionate, religious, and dynamic heroine who is more than a match for the heroes in the epic poem she claims to have authored. &“A great imagination and above all a powerful intellect.&” —The Daily Telegraph
