A Washington Post Notable Book

Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award
Finalist for the Women&;s Prize for Fiction
Here is the story of the Iliad as we&;ve never heard it before: in the words of Briseis, Trojan queen and captive of Achilles. Given only a few words in Homer&;s epic and largely erased by history, she is nonetheless a pivotal figure in the Trojan War. In these pages she comes fully to life: wry, watchful, forging connections among her fellow female prisoners even as she is caught between Greece&;s two most powerful warriors. Her story pulls back the veil on the thousands of women who lived behind the scenes of the Greek army camp&;concubines, nurses, prostitutes, the women who lay out the dead&;as gods and mortals spar, and as a legendary war hurtles toward its inevitable conclusion. Brilliantly written, filled with moments of terror and beauty, The Silence of the Girls gives voice to an extraordinary woman&;and makes an ancient story new again.
