Greek mythology will always have a special place in my heart and I loved Clytemnestra! Often overlooked or just treated a minor player in other stories (most notably as Helen's sister or Agamemnon's wife) - Clytemnestra's fury really shines through. Vengeance isn't just for men or for the gods - she is a daughter of Sparta and anyone foolish enough to cross her better watch their back. This novel follows her grow up - as a strong and smart child, as a happy wife, and then as a spiteful vengeful one. I don't want to ruin too much - but readers familiar with Greek mythology will recognize lots of familiar faces and a few stories. Fresh, inventive, and wonderful - give me more!
