Description
On their arrival in Trieste in 1904, James Joyce left Norah Barnacle outside a railway station while he went to scare up money.
He got embroiled in a fight with a couple of sailors and was locked up for his troubles.
A penniless Norah was left alone for almost an entire day and night sitting on their suitcases at the station in a city where she knew no one and where she didn't speak the language.
In real life, Norah waited for him. This novel asks - what if she hadn't? In Penelope Unbound, one of our greatest living novelists weaves a spellbinding speculative history.
By unhooking Norah from her famous husband, Morrissy gives her a compelling new voice, with heartbreak and humanity all her own.
Sensual, inventive and uproariously funny, Penelope Unbound reimagines a Joycean heroine for the 21st century.
