Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch. A single mother at that. Sure, she fits in with her starched dresses, string of pearls, and floral aprons. Then there are the hushed and mystical consultations with neighborhood women in distress. The unsavory, mysterious plants in the flower beds. The divined warning to steer clear of a boyfriend whose fate is certainly doomed.

Snemand bor alene i et træ og kæmper for at overleve den dræbervirus, som har efterladt jorden fuld af vraggods, affald og lumske rovdyr.

Margaret Atwood ist überzeugt: "Die Geschichte, wie sie in der "Odyssee" erzählt wird, ist nicht wasserdicht." Hier erzählt deshalb Penelope selbst rückblickend ihre Geschichte, skeptisch und scharfsichtig betrachtet sie ihr Leben, ihren seefahrenden Gatten Odysseus, die gewiefte Cousine Helena, den dümmlichen Paris, die brutale, patriarchalische Gesellschaft der Antike. Die Mägde bilden einen Chor, der den Bericht Penelopes aus der anonymen Perspektive der Machtlosen ergänzt. Intim, leicht und dabei illusionslos beschreiben die Frauen, was sie sehen, denken und erleben.
