A Thousand Ships

Jackie.Davidson shared a tip "Another good foray into Greek mythology for me, focused on the roles that the goddesses and women of Greece and Troy played in the familiar tales of the Battle of Troy."

sarah_brown_5943 shared a tip "I liked the poetic way this was written, but I think it's a missed opportunity that pretty much all of the perspectives are noblewomen (or at least formerly so) and gods."

olivia_huie shared a tip "This was an interesting take from the perspective of women who were involved with the Trojan War. I really enjoyed this book even though I generally prefer books in chronological order."

emma_pierce_5821 shared a tip "it may be difficult to understand at times if you don’t know much background on the trojan war. overall it was a great read and i loved the fact it was told only from the perspective of women!"

tatum_updegraff shared a tip "This book was so moving. I love how it changes your perspective on a story that a lot of people have known since they were kids. There's these idolized characters like Achilles and Odysseus who become humanized as we hear their stories through the perspective of the women in their lives and it takes them off the pedestal that the Iliad and history have put them on. I thought that was very powerful."

sarah_kochi shared a tip "Amazing book!! I really loved it and the stories go into all the women and their own stories and doesn’t rely on the men for plot."
