Unabridged Audiobook
Good, but a little dragging
If you're a fan of Greek mythological retellings, you'll enjoy Cosati's take which, rather than centering the wronged woman's revenge and thus still making the story about the man's deeds, instead places the previously ancillary wife Clytemnestra firmly in the seat of the hero, tragic hubris and all. Cosati's sentence structure is simple, straightforward, fitting for our Spartan heroine, but it's occasionally undone by the narrator who, while possessing a lovely voice, lacks variation in her inflection and it makes tracking the changes in character or setting difficult at times. All in all, a fantastic book and I'd love to see more of Cosati's world of mythology.
