A Thousand Ships is told through immersive and beautiful POVs from a variety of women around the time of the Trojan War. While most are victims of tragedy, the novel does not shy away from sharing how others are perpetrators, or flawed in their own right. 

Natalie Haynes’ epic breathes life into the often forgotten, out outright ignored, voices of the women of Greece and Troy.
