Shorlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction and the Costa Novel
Award Booker-winning novelist Pat Barker imagines the untold story
of the women at the heart of history's greatest epic
'Magnificent... You are in the hands of a writer at the height of
her powers' Evening Standard 'Chilling, powerful, audacious... A
searing twist on The Iliad. Amid the recent slew of rewritings of
the great Greek myths and classics, Barker's stands out for its
forcefulness of purpose and earthy compassion' The Times 'A
stunning return to form' Observer There was a woman at the heart of
the Trojan war whose voice has been silent - till now... Briseis
was a queen until her city was destroyed. Now she is slave to
Achilles, the man who butchered her husband and brothers. Trapped
in a world defined by men, can she survive to become the author of
her own story? Discover the greatest Greek myth of all - retold by
the witness history forgot. 'Make[s] you reflect on the cultural
underpinnings of misogyny, the women throughout history who have
been told by men to forget their trauma... You are in the hands of
a writer at the height of her powers' Evening Standard Praise for
Pat Barker: 'Barker delves unflinchingly into the enduring
mysteries of human motivation' Sunday Telegraph 'She is not only a
fine chronicler of war but of human nature' Independent 'Barker is
a writer of crispness and clarity and an unflinching seeker of the
germ of what it means to be human' Herald 'You go to her for plain
truths, a driving storyline and a clear eye, steadily facing the
history of our world' Guardian
