by Rosemary Sutcliff

5.0

After the fall of Troy, Odysseus begins a homeward voyage that becomes a ten-year struggle against monsters, enchantments, hostile gods and his own curiosity. His encounters with the Cyclops, Circe, the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis lead him ever farther from Ithaca, while Penelope and Telemachus resist the suitors consuming his household. Sutcliff’s retelling follows the shape of Homer’s Odyssey in a direct narrative designed to preserve both its danger and its sense of wonder.
