The exhilarating follow-up to Pat Barker's The Women of Troy and The
Silence of the Girls
After ten blood-filled years, the war is over. Troy lies in smoking
ruins as the victorious Greeks fill their ships with the spoils of
battle.
Alongside the treasures looted are the many Trojan women captured by
the Greeks – among them the legendary prophetess Cassandra, and her
watchful maid, Ritsa. Enslaved as concubine – war-wife – to King
Agamemnon, Cassandra is plagued by visions of his death – and her own –
while Ritsa is forced to bear witness to both Cassandra’s frenzies and
the horrors to come.
Meanwhile, awaiting the fleet’s return is Queen Clytemnestra, vengeful
wife of Agamemnon. Heart-shattered by her husband’s choice to sacrifice
their eldest daughter to the gods in exchange for a fair wind to Troy,
she has spent this long decade plotting retribution, in a palace
haunted by child-ghosts.
As one wife journeys toward the other, united by the vision of
Agamemnon’s death, one thing is certain: this long-awaited homecoming
will change everyone’s fates forever.
