A review by aethelgifu
Helen of Troy by Margaret George

2.0

got to page 440 out of 747 before my two week loan and three renewals expired. Very slow: Helen and Paris only reached Troy on page 273. I think the author wanted to embed Helen in her culture and society so there is a lot about her life in Sparta, and life in the Aegean Bronze Age in general. Tighter editing could have resulted in a slightly faster paced book which would maybe have held my attention and made me want to finish it.
