“A war does not ignore half the people whose lives it touches. So why do we?”

A story told by Calliope giving inspiration to a poet who is in need of something to write. 

Calliope makes it clear from the very beginning that the only inspiration she is giving the poet is of the women of Troy. Haynes added such passion to her performance of the audiobook that you feel everything each of the women feels. That alone makes this book so memorable. I am so glad this book exists and I can’t wait to discover more of what Haynes has written.
