The Books Oracle
by Pat Barker · Women of Troy series
Pat Barker retells the Trojan War from the perspective of Briseis, the queen-turned-war-prize claimed by Achilles. Stripped of autonomy and voice, she witnesses the legendary conflict as property, observing the masculine heroics that Greek myth celebrates. A fierce feminist reclamation that centers the silenced women in history's greatest war story.
