such a deep insight into the way the women involved in the war have behaved when all you ever hear about is the men‘s pov.

Well-trodden ground with a new spin. I really enjoyed where Haynes took these familiar characters with their received stories. Always up for Ovid’s Heroides and the Euripidean viewpoint.

I listened to the Audible version and loved it. The author seems so softly spoken but her passion for each woman in this book is clear and insightful. There’s something here for every woman - mother, sister, daughter, wife, warrior, priestess, seer, nymph, muse and goddess.
And who’s to say there aren’t elements of all of those in all of us?!

The story of the fall of Troy is missing half the population. Now the women’s stories are told.
