The Silence of the Girls

I'm really not sure how I felt about this one - on the one hand it was utterly grim and despressing, which perfectly captures what these women went through as they were captured, raped, abused, and passed around like objects. On the other hand, even though I can appreciate what it's trying to do, I don't think I enjoyed it as a story. Achilles was portrayed so strangely and his story, conflicts and relationships took over the story of the women. I've never read The Iliad or Song of Achilles so can't really compare them as other reviewers had, but I still found this a bit disappointing.
