The Silence of the Girls

Retelling of the Iliad from the point of view of Briseis, the slave/concubine of Achilles. I'm drawn to read these “famous story retold from the point of view of the silenced women” books, and inevitably I'm disappointed by them, because their point seems to be just to demonstrate that the women are/were silenced. Although this book is well written and readable, I don't know that it adds anything to the Iliad, which has always been a brutal story.
