This book is incredible! A tale of Ancient Greece from the eyes of a revered and powerful Queen - the wife of Agamemnon, and not by choice.
She is powerful, delightfully complex and relentlessly lives by her moral compass. It is a wonder to behold such a woman at the center of a story. Usually, women are eclipsed by men, always in the shadows - but Clytemnestra shines and burns too brightly to ever be in the shadows.
