So good I bought it twice, and I haven‘t even read the first one yet. 😂😂😂

A treat for the August Bank Holiday weekend, and another book with lovely endpapers. #books #bookstagram #tetherdown #patbarker #thewomensstory #thewomenoftroy #bookphotography #greekmyths #trojanwar #feminism #retellingmyths #bookcommunity #dauntbooks #literature #contemporaryfiction #legends #history
Meh. Strong premise and an engaging beginning, but in the end, it ended up being a story about Achilles. The women in the story remained flat. Whether that was intentional by the author or not, I definitely didn‘t appreciate it.
I hope A Thousand Ships (similar idea) is better.

This is a marvellous retelling of The Iliad from the women‘s perspective. Beautifully written, and immediately engrossing right from the first page.

The dangers of working from home. After a constructive morning I just nipped our to buy a newspaper but made the mistake of sauntering past the marvellous Muswell Hill Bookshop, and seem to have been led astray. #nowillpower #muswellhillbookshop #muswellhill #n10 #muswellhillbilly #book #books #bookstagram #patbarker #mandascott #thesilenceofthegirls #atreacheryofspies #donttellcatherine
