Most people know the basics of the story of the Trojan War, but “A Thousand Ships” tells the stories of the women who were affected by the war, including those mostly ignored by history. Through their voices and tales, the reader has a better understanding of the time period and what women went through. I love mythological stories, so this was right up my alley.
Three words that describe this book: mythological, feminist, historical
You might want to pick this book up if: You like authors Madeline Miller and Mary Renault, or the book “The Silence of the Girls” by Pat Barker.
