This book covers a whole new story about the aftermath of the fall of Troy. The women are captives, the men killed, the city in ruins, Achilles dead & his 16 year old son Pyruss, leader of the Greek camp.
It’s mostly told from the perspective of Briseis, & this is not the Hollywood version! It was so interesting to read this after all the other “versions” I’ve read, it was such a different story.
I’ve found Barker’s writing to be brutally descriptive at times, but she does write a good story!
