I found this book a bit of a trudge. It was good in parts -

the chapter where Iphigeneia is sacrificed is absolutely brilliant

but otherwise it feels like a trudge to these parts. It's written from the point of view of three women so it jumps around quite a bit and I didnt love that but I stuck it out. I didn't really like any of the characters.
