A classic story retold from the perspective of the women. There were so many deeply relatable moments from the emotional struggles the women went through. Struggles with marriage, control, and motherhood.

I wouldn't say I loved any of the characters, most of them were flawed in their own way. But I did find myself feeling pity for them. 

Excellent retelling of the infamous Trojan War.
