A warm welcome back today to Victoria Kinkaid who's here to talk about Clytemnestra's bind by Susan C Wilson.  This is a modern retelling of a story from Greek mythology that of Queen Clytemenestra , unwilling wife of Agamemnon.  I really enjoyed my conversation with Victoria.  If you've not come across her before he has been on the podcast before and she was here last year talking about a brilliant nonfiction title Half the Sky. Today we are talking fiction. We are talking Greek Mythology, we are talking about feminism, we are talking about the role of women in health care, we're talking about domestic abuse, we're talking about trauma and PTSD We talk about people pleasers, we talk about boundaries, we talk about so many things. It is a really really good book even for somebody like me who doesn't much like Greek mythology.
