Sweetbitter Song

Wrote a review for

The publisher's description says this book "tells a story forgotten by history." Um, no: it's fanfiction shipping an aged-up minor character from The Odyssey and Penelope.

I have my doubts that the author did much research into Bronze Age Mediterranean civilizations because everything reads like a 21st century author phoning in the setting and imposing their mindset on the past.

Skip this and read one of the many translations of The Odyssey instead.
