Summary: my review
Review: This is a retelling of the epic "The Illiad" from Homer about the Trojan War. In this book the author chooses a passage from the original story about a girl/queen who suffers from the loss of her brothers and husband and falls under the protection of Achilles and Patroclus his longtime friend.

The book is very well written and the author has been able to bring to life a part of history that has always been hard to imagine. The scenes, as well as customs in everyday life are extremely life-like as well as her characters. The detail on the war is also very alive and easy to follow.

All in all, a very good book, easy to read and very instructional.
