pickThis was very good, as always. Right now all the timelines with Max and Leon are confusing me... Very interesting parts of history were covered - her ability to imagine these is amazing.
pickI‘m on the home stretch. This epic tale was so addictive, I loved that the women‘s stories were told with the men as a backdrop. For once. I LOVED Penelope‘s letters to Odysseus, I laughed out loud at the tone “I hear you are shacked up in a sea cave, that‘s really what you prefer to coming home. To me. FFS Odysseus!” 🤣🤣 the author reading this makes it next level awesome! #literarycrew
My gardening hasn‘t ended but my book did, thankfully this was waiting on my Libby shelf. I am thoroughly enjoying this retell of the Greek and Trojan throw down, laughing out loud at everyone being mad at the ‘Spartan Whore‘ who started it all #ittakestwototango truthfully Helen didn‘t like to be alone 🙄

"He loses his wife so he stirs up an army to bring her back to him, costing countless lives and creating countless widows, orphans and slaves. Oenone loses her husband and she raises their son. Which of those is the more heroic act?"
pick“A war does not ignore half the people whose lives it touches. So why do we?” — This book was fantastic! A feminist retelling of the women of Troy after the war. The book is told through Calliope giving inspiration to a poet. But Calliope makes it clear to the poet that the only story she will give him is the women‘s story as everyone already knows the mens story. 5/5🌟
