A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes

adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

What I loved the most about this book is that you were given a glimpse into what the women of the Trojan War went through from both sides. I really enjoyed Penelope's chapters. You get her point of view through letters she writes to Odysseus during his years away. There is no denying the men in wars sacrifice a great deal but there is also no denying that the women sacrifice just as much especially those of the conquered city. Many happily welcomed death over becoming a slave.
