A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes

Experiencing the Trojan War and aftermath from the womens’ perspectives truly adds a new dimension. Haynes’ storytelling is flawless, and the characters are really brought to life. We feel their pain and anxiety and loss. It makes me want to reread the Greek playwrights AND tackle Dr. Mary Wilson’s translation of “The Odyssey.” Varied voices of storytellers (and especially translators) breathe new life into our old myths and tales.
