The exhilarating follow-up to Pat Barker's The Women of Troy and
The Silence of the Girls After ten blood-filled years, the war is
over. Troy lies in smoking ruins as the victorious Greeks fill
their ships with the spoils of battle.Alongside the treasures
looted are the many Trojan women captured by the Greeks - among
them the legendary prophetess Cassandra, and her watchful maid,
Ritsa. Enslaved as concubine - war-wife - to King Agamemnon,
Cassandra is plagued by visions of his death - and her own - while
Ritsa is forced to bear witness to both Cassandra's frenzies and
the horrors to come.Meanwhile, awaiting the fleet's return is Queen
Clytemnestra, vengeful wife of Agamemnon.Heart-shattered by her
husband's choice to sacrifice their eldest daughter to the gods in
exchange for a fair wind to Troy, she has spent this long decade
plotting retribution, in a palace haunted by child-ghosts.As one
wife journeys toward the other, united by the vision of Agamemnon's
death, one thing is certain: this long-awaited homecoming will
change everyone's fates forever.Praise for Pat Barker:'Barker
delves unflinchingly into the enduring mysteries of human
motivation' Sunday Telegraph'She is not only a fine chronicler of
war but of human nature' Independent'Barker is a writer of
crispness and clarity and an unflinching seeker of the germ of what
it means to be human' Herald'You go to her for plain truths, a
driving storyline and a clear eye, steadily facing the history of
our world' Guardian
