What happened to the wives of Greek heroes and the daughters of Trojan warriors? Did their lives and tragedies matter any less than the men's? Haynes breathes life into the untold stories of the women of the Trojan war, weaving an intircate tapestry of grief and resilience.

Well, this book definitely accomplished what it set out to do, which is provide the perspectives of women involved in the Trojan war. And this is also what I didn’t like about it

This book feels like the most captivating history class ever while having a great plot
