The Economist "Beautifully done.". In seeing a legend differently, Barker also makes us re-think history.". The defeated go down in history and disappear, and their stories die with them.". The army camp, the warrior mindset, the horrors of battle, the silence of the girls--Barker makes it all convincing and very powerful.

About this product
Product Information
The greatest war story in literature, retold by our greatest living storyteller on war - in the voice of the forgotten woman who lived through it Queen Briseis has been stolen from her conquered homeland and given as a concubine to a foreign warrior. The warrior is Achilles- famed hero, loathed enemy, ruthless butcher, darkly troubled spirit. Briseis's fate is now indivisibly entwined with his. No one knows it yet, but there are just ten weeks to go until the Fall of Troy, the end of this long and bitter war. This is the start of The Iliad- the most famous war story ever told. The next ten weeks will be a story of male power, male ego, male violence. But what of the women? The thousands of female slaves in the soldiers' camp - in the laundry, at the loom, laying out the dead? Briseis is one of their number - and she will be our witness to history.Product Identifiers

A good read for escape.
Easy to read. Nice for an escape. Having Gods like Agamemnon and Achilles arguing over women seemed a bit strange though.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
