The Women Of Troy
Pat Barker, Hamish Hamilton, £18.99
Barker’s reimagined tale of the aftermath of the Trojan war captures the brutality and horror of this iconic Greek myth in fresh, contemporary detail.
Told from the perspective of Briseis – once the war prize of Achilles – Barker immerses us in the lives of the women who survived the siege at Troy as they assume their role as slaves to the Greek men.
A worthy sequel to The Silence Of The Girls.
