Reviews / Votes
An absorbing, sweeping novel that grabs readers from the touching opening page onwards - there's no half heartedness * The Bookseller * Of the many versions of Homer's epic, this is the first - with apologies to James Joyce - to do justice to the women in the story. Touching and engaging * Guardian * Adele Geras's Ithaka is authentic. It's as worked and reworked as Penelope's weaving as she waits for Odysseus post Troy, but it's seamless * TES * Geras brings the story to life with characters whose behaviour and reactions seem very contemporary . . . The pace is gentle, and some difficult subjects are handled with sensitivity * Writeaway! *More details
