Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati
4.5
I’ve never read a Clytemnestra retelling before and I’m glad I started with this one
I did however expect Clytemnestra to take revenge earlier instead of seething in her hatred for so many years but as a retelling I was pleased. I felt angry on her behalf but it’s definitely a story that needs to be told for what men have been capable of in the past, how women go unnoticed and are twisted to be hated, and cruel when it was done to them first.
Highly recommend this
