What do we know about Penelope? The faithful wife of Odysseus, who, in anticipation of his return to Ithaca, weaved an endless shroud for his father-in-law and refused the numerous suitors who sought her hand.

Penelope Goar Marcosian-Kasper does not live in sunny Ithaca, but in the winter Yerevan of the 90s, where electricity is a luxury, and a hot bath is a dream, and we must try hard to make this dream come true. Penelope does not have as many suitors as the ancient namesake, but her heart is trying to win a classmate who dissects the city on a Mercedes. And, of course, she has Odysseus – Armen, a doctor who went to war.

Penelope was awakened by the sun. So begins this witty, sparkling, full of verbal play novel about one day that we have to live with the heroine, wandering from one Yerevan house to another and enjoying the warmth that is poured through these pages.
