A most beautiful book and voice. The women in the book speak and you see their stories play out in your mind. I love the stories of the Greek gods and hero's and this was a perfectly invented new view.
'A gripping feminist masterpiece' Deborah Frances-White
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2020
One of the Guardian's and TLS's 'Best Books of 2019'
In A Thousand Ships, broadcaster and classicist Natalie Haynes retells the story of the Trojan War from an all-female perspective, for fans of Madeline Miller and Pat Barker.
This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .
In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.
From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women embroiled in the legendary war.
Powerfully told from an all-female perspective, in A Thousand Ships Natalie Haynes puts the women, girls and goddesses at the centre of the story.
'With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Natalie Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War' – Madeline Miller, author of Circe

Det er en fornøjelse at lytte til Haynes selv læse denne fantastiske historie. Blandingen af de gamle tekster og myter med viden fra historien gennem arkæologi og geografi er ganske uforlignelig ❤️

Fantastisch, letterlijk en figuurlijk. De vrouwen, zusters, moeders, dochters en slavinnen van de helden uit de Ilias en Odyssee krijgen elk hun eigen verhaal, karakter en stem, met zeer invoelbare emoties. Bonus is de manier waarop Nathalie Haynes zelf voorleest. Kennis van de oorspronkelijke verhalen van Homerus is wel handig.
