A review by meglynw
Helen of Troy by Margaret George

3.0

This was such a long read. I love Margaret George's writing, but tend to forget just how long and slow it can be, at times. She puts so much detail into her stories, and so much thought. She creates all these full-bodied characters from just a myth or a painting. It's incredible how she can put it all together, and make you believe that you're reading history rather than fiction based on history, and in this case, just a story. I actually had no idea that there's no evidence that Helen or Paris or Achilles ever existed, nor that Troy and its famous war ever happened.
