Description

Troy has fallen, and the Greeks have won their bitter war. But the wind has vanished, and the seas becalmed by vengeful gods, leaving the warriors in limbo. The women of Troy remain, camped in the shadow of the city they destroyed, their stories waiting to be told. Helen, Cassandra, Amina, Hecuba, and Briseis - each with her own tale of loss, longing, and survival. Pat Barker's masterful retelling of one of our greatest myths continues from the critically acclaimed The Silence of the Girls, offering a plain truth and clear-eyed sense of our history and creation stories. This novel is a powerful exploration of the human cost of war and the enduring power of the female experience.
