Description
Shortlisted for the Costa Best Novel Award 2018
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2019
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker, read by Kristin Atherton and Michael Fox.
From the Booker Prize-winning author of Regeneration and one of our greatest contemporary writers on war comes a reimagining of the most famous conflict in literature - the legendary Trojan War.
The great city of Troy is under siege as Greek heroes Achilles and Agamemnon wage bloody war over a stolen woman. In the Greek camp, another woman is watching and waiting: Briseis. She was a queen of this land until Achilles sacked her city and murdered her husband and sons. Now she is Achilles' concubine: a prize of battle.
Briseis is just one among thousands of women backstage in this war - the slaves and prostitutes, the nurses, the women who lay out the dead - all of them voiceless in history. But, though no one knows it yet, they are just 10 weeks away from the death of Achilles and the fall of Troy, an end to this long and bitter conflict. Briseis will see it all - and she will bear witness.

Go for it if you don’t mind anachronism
“Seconds”, “minutes”, “hours”, “inch”, “foot”, “yard” and “ceasefire”! Come on, I mean even as a non-native English speaker I know it should be “truce” since it is a war fought with cold weapons! The whole book is dotted here and there with these kind of negligence to detail and there is no way to escape from them—there are simply too many.
Otherwise it is not badly written, though I suspect the author is torn between giving the female characters a voice and depicting a male same sex relationship that she seems to be appreciating (the depiction of the Achilles-Patroclus relationship was great!); and between giving things a scientific explanation (to the modern eye) and retaining the mythical touch with supernatural powers appearing on stage—that she ended up falling short in every one of these efforts.
For retelling more or less the same story with plenty of female perspective, I would recommend Colleen McCullough’s “Song of Troy”. I had enjoyed it way more than I do this one.
