In this fine retelling of the Trojan War and its aftermath, it is the women - Trojan, Spartan, Amazon - who take centre-stage as we see through their eyes the men who fought it on both sides. It all rings true and brings to life and makes so accessible this seminal classic - no need for Latin and Greek here to get to the nitty gritty of this story of stories. A moving, intelligent and witty book!
