4.5

I think this book would pair nicely with The Song of Achilles since both are written about the Trojan War, but more focused around Helen and Klytemnestra’s side. This book was beautifully written and truly captured women’s struggles in a strict patriarchal society. I was not a fan of the ending. It did not seem to wrap up the story in the way that I wanted it to.
