Will I love The Voyage Home?

This is the story of Cassandra, the Trojan princess with the gift of prophecy who no one believes, taken home with the Greek king Agamemnon as a trophy of war. It evokes the horrors evoked through brutal wars in unique ways, like the ghosts dead children who haunt Agamemnon’s palace with singing and leaving handprints. Later chapters alternate with those featuring the point of view of Clytmenstra, Agamemnon's queen and killer, who murders Cassandra as well. The consequences of war are personalized in stunning detail, a fresh look at Homer's and Greek tragedy's depictions of these two women.

After tearing through The Silence of the Girls and Women of Troy, I couldn't wait to read Barker's next installment in her series revisiting women's perspectives of the Trojan War. This novel did not disappoint!
