February Book Club | House of Odysseus by Claire North
Will Pestle, Director of Education

Attend the February session of our monthly Kelsey Book Club! This event is open to all adults who have an interest in fiction, mythology, and the ancient world. Learn more about this program at https://myumi.ch/Drn1Q.
This month, we are continuing with author Claire North’s Songs of Penelope series with House of Odysseus (2023), the trilogy’s second installment: “On the isle of Ithaca, queen Penelope maintains a delicate balance of power. Many years ago, her husband Odysseus sailed to war with Troy and never came home. In his absence, Penelope uses all her cunning to keep the peace—a peace that is shattered by the return of Orestes, King of Mycenae, and his sister Elektra.”
Join us in Room 125 of Newberry Hall for an evening of community and conversation led by Will Pestle, the Kelsey Museum’s director of education. Light refreshments will be served. Register for this event at https://forms.gle/6ouse858NwTx9fQE6 by Thursday, February 20, 2025.
