From the Booker Prize-winning author of Regeneration and one of our greatest contemporary writers on war comes a reimagining of the most famous conflict in literature - the legendary Trojan War.The Trojan War is known as a quarrel between men over a woman, stolen from her home and spirited across the sea. But what of the other women, the thousands who lived this story, now silenced by history? What words did they speak when alone with each other, in the laundry, at the loom, when laying out the dead?Briseis is one of those women. When her city falls to the Greeks, her old life is shattered. She is transformed from queen to captive, from free woman to slave, awarded to god-like warrior Achilles as a prize of war. From the confines of the soldiers' encampment, she will witness the rest of this bloody conflict, its high & terrible price for all involved.In this magnificent novel, Pat Barker charts one woman's journey through the chaos of the most famous war in history, as she struggles to free herself and to become the author of her own story.Praise for Pat Barker:'Barker delves unflinchingly into the enduring mysteries of human motivation' Sunday Telegraph'She is not only a fine chronicler of war but of human nature' Independent'Barker is a writer of crispness and clarity and an unflinching seeker of the germ of what it means to be human' Herald'You go to her for plain truths, a driving storyline and a clear eye, steadily facing the history of our world' Guardian
