À propos de cette écoute

Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction

Powerfully read by the author, Natalie Haynes. Told from an all-female perspective, A Thousand Ships sees the classicist and author of Divine Might retell the story of the Trojan War – putting the women, girls and goddesses at the centre of the story.

Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles and Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls.

'With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Natalie Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War' – Madeline Miller, author of Circe

This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .

In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.

From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women embroiled in the legendary war.

'A many-layered delight' – The Guardian

'A gripping feminist masterpiece' – Deborah Frances-White, The Guilty Feminist

    Commentaires

    With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War. Her thoughtful portraits will linger with you long after the book is finished (Madeline Miller, author of Circe)
    Natalie Haynes is swiftly becoming this generation’s Mary Renault; her retelling of the Trojan war from an all-female perspective, A Thousand Ships, is her best yet.
    The forgotten women are vividly brought to life in this moving, intelligent and witty book (Martha Kearney, BBC Radio 4)
    Elegant, intelligent . . . Haynes combines a wide-ranging knowledge of the original myths with a gift for compelling narrative
    A joy to read: fast paced, cracking with emotion and tension (Professor Michael Scott)
    Here, in this treat of a book, the women take centre stage - and how brilliantly . . . Natalie Haynes brings them to witty, lyrical, scintillating life . . . A book to both savour and devour (Suzannah Lipscomb)
    Breathtaking . . . Her writing isn’t merely clever, or elegant, or (at times) extremely funny - though it is all of those things. It’s also viscerally vivid. (Catherine Nixey)

    Being quite familiar with The Odyssey and the traditional telling of The Iliad I found this fresh perspective from all the female goddesses and women involved absolutely fascinating. The individual women’s voices are strong and well drawn out and I loved the letters from Penelope! The telling is heart-rending, tragic, sometimes funny and very enjoyable. It is beautifully read by the author. Highly recommended!

    Fascinating and entertaining read.
