HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. All my days are consumed in longing - to travel home and see the day of my arrival dawn. If a god must shatter me upon the wine-dark sea, so be it. One of the most enduring tales ever told, The Odyssey is the original homecoming story. After the fall of Troy, victorious war-hero Odysseus sets off on his long return to Ithaca - an adventure which takes him through strange and foreign lands and brings a challenge at every turn from six-headed sea monsters and man-eating giants, seductive sorceresses and vengeful gods. Passed down through the generations for three thousand years, Homer's The Odyssey, has been celebrated as an undisputed great of Western literature. Here in a translation by T. E.

It was born out of the author's interactions with thousands of unloved daughters trying to make sense of their lives on social media pages. They shared observations and memories - and asked questions. There are times when the process of coping with a toxic childhood seems too long and difficult, and there are doubts about whether it will ever come to a victorious end. This is when questions arise that have no one to answer. Peg Streep has put these "damned" questions together to finally answer them. They are all based on scientific research and expert advice, as well as drawing on personal experience--the author and many other women. "Unloved Daughter. Questions and Answers" complements Peg Streep's previous book, "Unloved Daughter. How to put the traumatic relationship with your mother behind you and start a new life," and will be a good help on the difficult road to healing. Listeners should return to it at times when they need support and clarification - or want to question themselves.
