The Women of Troy

by Pat Barker
RM45.00 MYR
The Women of Troy
The Women of Troy

Post-Trojan War female perspectives, raw and poignant.

"The Women of Troy" offers an insightful retelling of what happens after the fall of Troy, focusing on the experiences of women, which are often overshadowed in classic texts. If you're drawn to stories that explore the aftermath of war from a female viewpoint, and appreciate historical fiction with a strong, emotional undercurrent, this novel might just resonate with you. It's an opportunity to engage with ancient narratives flipped on their head, granting a voice to those once silent.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Masterful and enduringly resonant, ambitious and intimate, The Women of Troy continues Pat Barker's extraordinary retelling of one of our greatest classical myths, following on from the critically acclaimed The Silence of the Girls. Readers turn to Barker's novels for their plain truths and clear-eyed sense of our history and creation stories. But the sombre clarity of her writing is offset by a luminous wisdom. The Women of Troy's immediate beauty is its accessibility and Barker's precise, elegant writing. Barker has always looked on the world with the combination of a cold eye and a sympathetic understanding. Her characterisation is sharp, her sympathy deep.
