The exhilarating follow-up to Pat Barker’s\u00a0The Women of Troy\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0The Silence of the Girls<\/i><\/p>\n
The third book in her acclaimed series reimagining the Iliad story from the perspective of the Trojan women, which began with\u00a0The Silence of the Girls.<\/i><\/p>\n
Continuing the story of the captured Trojan women as they set sail for Mycenae with the victorious Greeks,\u00a0The Voyage Home<\/i>\u00a0centres on the fate of Cassandra \u2013 daughter of King Priam, priestess of Apollo, and a prophet condemned never to be believed. (When she refuses to have sex with Apollo, after he has kissed her, granting her the gift of true prophecy, he spits in her mouth to make sure she will never be believed.)<\/p>\n
Psychologically complex and dangerously driven, Cassandra\u2019s arrival in Mycenae will set in motion a bloody train of events, drawing in King Agamemnon, his wife Clytemnestra and daughter Electra. Agamemnon\u2019s triumphant return from Troy is far from the celebration he imagined, and the fate of the Trojan women as uncertain as they had feared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
