Summary: Rawlings makes us roar
Review: In a technologically advanced age where love, loyalty and the desire to embark on an adventurous odyssey have become increasingly complex, could a story about a woman in ancient Greece make a difference? Could Jane Rawlings' "The Penelopeia," enlighten our mundane reality--a reality that
refuses to ask if. "The Penelopeia" refuses to celebrate the power of human imagination before exposing its artificial sensibility. Its crisp and unabashedly simple narrative, packed with menace, intrigue and pulse-beating twists, invites one question: is passion indeed the unacknowledged legislator of the truth? Rawlings' understanding of our thirst for adventure
and raw passion makes us roar; even Plato would have approved Rawlings' dignified Chutzpah.
