À propos de cet audio
From the multi-award-winning author Claire North comes a daring reimagining that breathes life into ancient myth and gives voice to the women who stand defiant in a world ruled by ruthless men. It’s time for the women of Ithaca to tell their tale . . .
"North brings a powerful, fresh, and unflinching voice to ancient myth. Breathtaking." —Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne
Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus sailed to war with Troy, taking with him every man of fighting age from the island of Ithaca. None of them has returned, and the women of Ithaca have been left behind to run the kingdom.
Penelope was barely into womanhood when she wed Odysseus. While he lived, her position was secure. But now, years on, speculation is mounting that her husband is dead, and suitors are beginning to knock at her door.
No one man is strong enough to claim Odysseus' empty throne—not yet. But as everyone waits for the balance of power to tip, Penelope knows that any choice she makes could plunge Ithaca into bloody civil war.
This is the story of Penelope of Ithaca, famed wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told before. Beyond Ithaca's shores, the whims of gods dictate the wars of men. But on the isle, it is the choices of the abandoned women—and their goddesses—that will change the course of the world.

Histoire
My name is Hope Arden, and you won't know who I am. But we've met before—a thousand times. It started when I was 16 years old. A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A friend who looks at me and sees a stranger. No matter what I do, the words I say, the crimes I commit, you will never remember who I am. That makes my life difficult. It also makes me dangerous. The Sudden Appearance of Hope is a riveting and heartbreaking exploration of identity and existence, about a forgotten girl whose story will stay with you forever.

Histoire
The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over.

In 1966 in a small town in Louisiana, a 19-year-old Black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight.

Rather than accepting his fate, Duncan found Richard Sobol, a brilliant, 29-year-old lawyer from New York who was the only White attorney at "the most radical law firm" in New Orleans. Against them stood one of the most powerful white supremacists in the South, a man called simply "The Judge".

After a few billion years of bearing witness to life on Earth, of watching one hundred billion humans go about their day-to-day lives, of feeling unbelievably lonely, and of hearing its own story told by others, The Milky Way would like a chance to speak for itself. All one hundred billion stars and fifty undecillion tons of gas of it. It all began some thirteen billion years ago, when clouds of gas scattered through the universe's primordial plasma just could not keep their metaphorical hands off each other.

Great story
I truly enjoyed this book. Having never read the story before I enjoyed it although you need a fair understanding of the gods and their roles I found.

Difficult to follow at first
I don’t know if it’s because I was listening instead of reading, but at first I struggled with all the characters! The narrator’s voice was soothing and I did enjoy the story a lot in the end. But it took a while to get into it.

Hard to follow
I bought this book because I read Circe by Madeline Miller and loved it. I listened to Ithaca for 7 chapters and then returned it because there were so many different characters with unfamiliar Greek names making hard to follow, there were shifts between a number of story lines that complicated things, and I found that the reader's accent made it even more difficult to understand. It took so much work to unravel what was going on and who was doing what that I eventually lost interest in listening. For me I think reading the book rather than listening to it would help with knowing who the characters are.

Looking forward to the next installment
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I decided to give it a try after listening to Circe by Madeline Miller, a great book. The narrator does a very good job. I enjoy listening to female narrators and it is particularly appropriate when the story is told largely from the perspectives of women. The story itself builds slowly but deliberately. The ending wraps up the central issues in the book but clearly leaves open the continuation of the story in the second book of the trilogy which is set to come out in 2023. Some reviewers did not like Hera as the narrator, but I think she adds some fun to the story with her biting comments about gods and humans. Not quite as good as Circe but I am definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.
