A Thousand Ships

A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes is a retelling of the Trojan War from an all-female perspective and was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction. For fans of Madeline Miller and Pat Barker, this novel gives voice to the women whose stories were often overshadowed by those of the men in the original mythology. The story begins with a woman waking up in the middle of the night to find her city on fire, setting the stage for a tale that explores the experiences and perspectives of women during war.
