The Illiad retold from the perspective of a woman. The city of Troy is under siege as Achilles and Agamemnon wage bloody war over a stolen woman. In the Greek camp, another woman is watching and waiting: Briseis. She was a queen of this land until Achilles sacked her city and murdered her husband and sons. She is just one among thousands of women backstage in this war -so far voiceless in history. From the Booker Prize-winning author of the Regeneration trilogy.
