An instant favorite. If you like Greek mythology, and ever wondered what the women in the stories were up to while the men were off on their ill-advised adventures, this is the book for you. The book is named Elektra, but you'll see the events surrounding the Trojan war from the perspectives of Clytemnestra, Cassandra, as well as Elektra.
The only reason that I've dropped half a point is because someone who isn't familiar with the Trojan war may have a difficult time getting into it or even keeping all of the names straight in their heads.
