Another excellent tale from Margaret Atwood. I'm a huge fan of her work. This is a quick and easy read - think short domestic flight not long haul overseas. Re-tells some of the Odysseus epic from his wife Penelope's point of view and raises questions about the way women are described by male-dominated history. And why were those twelve maidservants killed? Gives some insight but also allows you to draw your own conclusions.
