The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
challenging
dark
sad
tense
medium-paced
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.0
well done and very honest adaption of the iliad!
While first a bit slow and hard for me to really get into, the story eventually captured me.
And even though I know the story of the iliad and all the main plot points and tragedies, Briseis added an interesting pov and switched around the story focusing on the often forgotten and silenced women & girls in war.
