Description
The Voyage Home by Pat Barker Ten years of bloodshed have finally come to an end, but the aftermath is a different kind of war. The spoils of battle are being looted, and among them are the Trojan women - including the legendary prophetess Cassandra and her loyal companion Ritsa. Enslaved and forced to bear witness to the horrors that have been unleashed, they are both haunted by visions of the future. In a palace ravaged by grief and suspicion, Queen Clytemnestra waits for the return of her husband, King Agamemnon. Her heart shattered by the sacrifice of their eldest daughter, she has spent the past decade plotting her revenge. As the two women's paths converge, one thing is certain: their journey home will change everyone's fate forever. A powerful and unflinching retelling of the stories of Cassandra and Clytemnestra, The Voyage Home is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that conjures up a world stained by the grief of mothers and daughters.
