She's Helen of Troy's older sister. She's a Spartan Princess. She's High Queen of Mycenae. Her name is Clytemnestra. In a world where women are submissive, she rules. In a world where wives are loyal, she is unfaithful In a world where honour and blood feuds abound she exacts the ultimate revenge. An adventurous princess from a famous family, Nestra 's courageous spirit, passionate love and lust for life mark her as a unique heroine. From Homer's Iliad comes the story of one woman's fight for her family, her kingdom and her own survival.
After a childhood spent in India and Pakistan, Penelope trained as a nurse, without fully considering that a brisk default attitude of "pull yourself together and stop whining" might not be an ideal pre-requisite for the industry. Conceding at last that nurturing was not her dominant characteristic, she changed career path and after graduating with a BA (Hons) in English Literature, moved into management consultancy which better suited her personality type. After some years of family life she worked as a commercial pilot and flight instructor, spending her days ferrying clients into strips in the Marlborough Sounds and discouraging students from killing her as she taught them to fly. 'Helen Had A Sister ' is her second novel
