The Trojan War was horrific and that same brutality is present in the aftermath. This book pulls no punches with the tragedies and atrocities committed during wartime, but focuses on the women of the story rather than the men. It's devastating watching women be raped, ostracized, and enslaved. This is definitely a book for history buffs rather than those who prefer the fantasy of mythology, but I still enjoyed it.
