Unity Books review - The Silence of The Girls by Pat Barker

From Nine To Noon, 10:41 am on 31 August 2018

Melanie O'Loughlin from Unity Books reviews The Silence of The Girls by Pat Barker, published by Penguin Random House "Barker turns her attention to the women featured in the mythical story of the Iliad. Summoning the voice of Briseis, a Trojan Princess wrested from her home, and parcelled out to Achilles as a war-prize, Barker is in her element. The Iliad comes alive in new ways as we follow the women in their struggle to survive and find a way to tell their story."
