My holiday paperback was #TheSongOfAchilles, bought on a whim in the airport because I’d vaguely heard good things about it on clocksite. Very different take on The Iliad to #TheSilenceOfTheGirls, which I read earlier this year, but I loved both.

Have you read #TheSilenceOfTheGirls by #PatBarker? I’m only about 5 years late! I don’t know how I missed it, but saw the sequel in a ‘best of 2022’ round up (also now on my list)

I LOVED this - a feminist retelling of the Iliad, from the perspective of Briseis (Achilles’ ‘prize’ & ‘bed slave’)
