I've been cleaning and baking all day and have listened to almost the entirety of Colm Toibin's
House of Names. I will finish it this afternoon. It has been a most unique experience.
From The Guardian review:
Quote:

Rather than turning human-sized stories into myths, Tóibín sets out to humanise the myths of the house of Atreus: of Agamemnon and his wife Clytemnestra, their son Orestes and daughters Iphigenia and Electra, protagonists of the Iliad and of subtly different plays by Aeschylus and Euripides.
