Penelope: A Lesson In Drowning is a retelling of the Greek Myth of Penelope, the wise Queen of Ithaca. As an autistic Spartan princess, Penelope has her life figured out: she weaves tapestries on her loom, which helps quiet the raging waters inside her. She has a system in which she prevents any of her many suitors from winning her hand in marriage. Life is not exactly good, but it’s tolerable. But, after Penelope’s cousin and best friend, Helen, sends a new suitor her way, things get complicated. Odysseus seems different from the other suitors somehow. Different enough that she starts to question how much she really likes her life of safe routines: her daily routine, but also the routine cruelty of her controlling father, the Lord Icarius. Penelope must decide whether the chance of happiness is worth the risk of losing everything she knows. Will she overcome her fear of a love-like drowning and a drowning-like love? Or will she forever be stuck on dry land, safe, but alone? SOURCE
