Penelope Av Tom Stoppard

<p><i>Let others sing of war and a hero buffeted by fate. I sing of marriage and a marriage bed, and the endurance of love.</i><br><br>With an introduction by the author, this is Tom Stoppard in the voice of Odysseus’s wife recalling how the Trojan War ''took away my husband for ten years, and ten more coming the long way home'', and Odysseus''s dramatic arrival back on Ithaca.<br><br>Weaving Homeric tropes with the wry wit of a woman of our time, <i>Penelope </i>tells this still vibrant love story from the oldest poem in Western literature.</p>
