She's the most scapegoated heroine in Greek mythology, but there's never just one side to any story. This new framing uncovers the complexities of Helen of Troy—a woman tormented by the blame placed on her by others, and tortured by her own guilt.
"We all blamed Helen"
Haunted by her decision to leave her child behind when she fled her unhappy marriage, Helen seeks to build a new life in Troy with her lover, Paris. She yearns to recreate the childhood family she lost when she married Menelaus, but her vicious husband vows to regain her by force, at the head of a vast army.
Facing hostility from all sides, Helen must decide where her loyalty—and her safety—lies.
Perfect for fans of Greek mythology retellings, and Madeline Miller’s Circe, Jennifer Saint’s Elektra, and Pat Barker’s The Women of Troy.
