![]() ![]() ![]() I would recommend reading The Silence of the Girls prior to The Women of Troy. ![]() I read them rapidly and one after the other, unwilling to put them down. The Women of Troy continues the story commendably, however, and this is just my impression, it didn’t offer quite the same level of intensity, but considered together, these are an excellent pair of novels. The Silence of the Girls is the more powerful novel, it vibrates with brutality and is infused with fear it is a deeply emotional story. These two novels are a victory for every person who was silenced by history, their story stolen from them and absorbed into the male narrative of war and conquest. ![]()
