As ever, I loved Stephen Fry’s writing style, exceptional storytelling (I love the detail he includes along with the humorous elements dotted throughout) and always-wonderful narration. It took me a few months to listen to it all as I dipped in and out due to the detailed/informative and semi-historic nature of the story as I find this style harder to listen to “all in one go”. Also, after reading Clytemnestra and Circe previously it makes reading this male-centred telling of the sacking of Troy more difficult for me to ‘accept’!
