Sequel to critically acclaimed bestseller THE SILENCE OF THE GIRLS. Troy has fallen and the Greek victors are primed to return home. Largely unnoticed by her captors, Queen Briseis remains in the Greek encampment. She forges alliances where she can - with young, rebellious Amina, with defiant, aged Hecuba, with Calchus, the disgraced priest - and she begins to see the path to revenge... Pat Barker continues her extraordinary retelling of one of our greatest myths.
