Clytemnestra's Bind

How it reads

Clytemnestra's Bind is historical fiction (greek myth retelling, specifically), and its dominant mood is dark. It goes to difficult places and doesn't look away. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.

It's set in an international setting, in the historical past, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are power and politics, family and justice. In weight it's heavy and literary — denser, more serious, and more demanding of you.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending is bittersweet: it resolves, but at a price. At 300 pages it's a quick read. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
