The Women of Troy by Pat Barker
4.0
Adding another star to this after a second read.
Having now read the first book before this one and then re reading it made the story a lot more interesting especially with the behavioral differences in between Achilles and Pyrrhus. I think you really see Brisesis harden in this second book, all too often these retellings group women together as one and the action of one affecting all. I like how whilst she did want to help the other women, she had much more self preservation and felt like she wanted to survive this.
