Such a beautiful book! And not my typical read, which made it hard to rate but overall it pulled on my heartstrings.

I read the Odyssey freshman year of high school and was lucky enough to have it taught by a great teacher as well as having a love for greek mythology. If you’ve never read, or perhaps hated, the Odyssey, I’m not sure this book would be for you. This book is a love letter to the Odyssey while weaving in real life to the epic tale.

It is important to take a step back and analyze our parents, noticing their positive and negative qualities. This made me want to interview my parents’ whole life story.

I am really glad I listened to this, I think I would have had a hard time getting through it otherwise. Bronson Pinchot is a beautiful narrator.
