The exhilarating follow-up to Pat Barker's The Women of Troy and The Silence of the Girls
After ten blood-filled years, the war is over. Troy lies in smoking ruins as the victorious Greeks fill their ships with the spoils of battle.
Alongside the treasures looted are the many Trojan women captured by the Greeks – among them the legendary prophetess Cassandra, and her watchful maid, Ritsa. Enslaved as concubine – war-wife – to King Agamemnon, Cassandra is plagued by visions of his death – and her own – while Ritsa is forced to bear witness to both Cassandra’s frenzies and the horrors to come.
Meanwhile, awaiting the fleet’s return is Queen Clytemnestra, vengeful wife of Agamemnon. Heart-shattered by her husband’s choice to sacrifice their eldest daughter to the gods in exchange for a fair wind to Troy, she has spent this long decade plotting retribution, in a palace haunted by child-ghosts.
As one wife journeys toward the other, united by the vision of Agamemnon’s death, one thing is certain: this long-awaited homecoming will change everyone’s fates forever.

Fantastic narrator
This story really came to life, thanks to the excellent narration. Pat Barker is excellent at exploring the tragedy of war, capture and loss and breaking through myth and pageant to a very human and natural interpretation of those themes. This will stay with me for some time.

Narration Wasn’t For Me
The writing is excellent, although I didn’t feel particularly interested in the main female slave character. Unfortunately I found the narrator’s different accents irritating and distracting and I didn’t enjoy this audiobook.
