*Review also posted at Briar Rose Reads 
 Strange, ethereal retelling of The Odyssey in a post-apocalyptic world, focusing on a teenage girl in search of her family. I can see how the choppy back-and-forth structure, lack of internal logic, and sometimes implausible characters might be bothersome, but I was able to somewhat turn my brain off and enjoy the lovely, lyrical prose. Penelope was an enjoyable narrator, especially in her fierce love for her little brother, whom she, with a big sibling's single-minded focus, considered the most beautiful and worthy person alive. 
 All in all, a weird but quick and enjoyable read.
