About this product

Product Information

The greatest war story in literature, retold by our greatest living storyteller on war - in the voice of the forgotten woman who lived through it Queen Briseis has been stolen from her conquered homeland and given as a concubine to a foreign warrior. The warrior is Achilles- famed hero, loathed enemy, ruthless butcher, darkly troubled spirit. Briseis's fate is now indivisibly entwined with his. No one knows it yet, but there are just ten weeks to go until the Fall of Troy, the end of this long and bitter war. This is the start of The Iliad- the most famous war story ever told. The next ten weeks will be a story of male power, male ego, male violence. But what of the women? The thousands of female slaves in the soldiers' camp - in the laundry, at the loom, laying out the dead? Briseis is one of their number - and she will be our witness to history.

    Inspiring, heart wrenching and relevant - after 2000 years!

    Wonderful read - especially along with the Song of Achilles.

    Compelling reading.

    The book arrived in pristine condition. I like the front fly leaf which can be tucked in as a page marker. The content seems well researched but is not a heavy read. A very well written book.
