Out of a canonical myth, Saint has built a commanding story of rebellious women. The author also does a splendid job managing the timeline, with rich and sustained scenes and seamless jumps. We are delighted to welcome bestselling author of Ariadne, Jennifer Saint, to Penarth, to celebrate her new book Elektra. Saint enriches the tense story with psychological depth, showing, for instance, how Elektra simmers with resentment of her mother and Aegisthus for their betrayal of Agamemnon. Release Date: April 28th 2022 Publisher: Headline Pages: 400 Find it on: Goodreads. Clytemnestra soon bears Agamemnon’s son, a child she finds difficult to love because of his association with Agamemnon, and joins forces with her nephew, Aegisthus. Agamemnon wages war against Troy beginning with a treacherous act that Clytemnestra cannot forgive.
Cassandra, kissed by the god Apollo, receives the gift of prophecy and is disregarded by her family despite the fates she sees for them. Recently divorced Dahlia Woodson knows two things: she feels lost, and she doesn’t want children. In alternating chapters, each woman relays her own story and is treated to generous and bold character development. Release Date: JanuTUL Rating: 5 stars We couldn’t be more excited to start off the new year with one of the sweetest and sexiest January 2022 book releases, Love & Other Disasters. As in the Aeschylus plays, the lives of three powerful women intersect through war and vengeance: Cassandra, daughter of the king and queen of Troy Clytemnestra, wife of Agamemnon and Elektra, daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon. Saint ( Ariadne) returns with a brilliant feminist revision of the Greek myth of the House of Atreus.
