It won a San Diego Book Award as well as a Christopher Medal, a national award given to books whose writers “craft words and images into a clear, cohesive vision” and “affirm the highest values of the human spirit.” Corona’s second novel, PENELOPE’S DAUGHTER (Penguin/Berkley 2010) tells the story of Homer’s Odyssey from the perspective of a daughter born to Odysseus after he leaves for Troy. Her third novel, THE LAWS OF MOTION (Simon and Schuster/Gallery 2011) is based on the life story of Emilie du Chatelet, the brilliant eighteenth-century physicist and mathematician who was also Voltaire’s lover and muse. She is currently at work on her fourth novel, set in Spain at the time of Ferdinand and Isabella. Visit her website: laurelcorona.com
