The Silence of the Girls
by Pat Barker
Incredibly dull. Nothing happens. Everyone is just there while the rest of the world turns, no real contribution to the events. There’s nothing to get invested in- no strong characters, no complex dynamics, even major turning points seemed glossed over at best. Just was a very shallow telling of the Iliad from a cardboard perspective. It was broken into three parts and I ultimately skimmed the last third just to finally get it over with as soon as possible. I was so bored.
