My Rating: 4.8
This is a re-telling of the Iliad is from the persepctive of a woman, Briseis and covers the final days of the 10 year long Trojan War, After Achilles, Greece’s greatest warrior, conquers Troy’s neighboring kingdom, he takes Briseis for his concubine.
The Illiad has Achilles as a hero but, this re-telling shows the perspective from a very different angle. Before you write this off as some "Greek mythology book" that wouldn't appeal to you, I urge you to give a try. I thoroughly enjoyed this well written book with it's spectacular writing.
