Barker’s retelling of ‘The Iliad’ is the realest one you’ll find. We see the reality of war, of trauma, and we see that Achilles was never a hero.
I was worried that this female-focused retelling would be good but unrealistic and feel far from the myth, but this was none of that. Would truly recommend to anyone.
