Reviews
" The Silence of the Girls is brilliant--fascinating, riveting and blood chilling in its matter-of-fact attitude toward war and those who are its spoils. I loved the book for its craftsmanship, as well is its wonderful evocation of the ancient world and the not-so-ancient minds of the people inhabiting it." --Diana Gabaldon "An extraordinary novel... [and] the current debate about power and control in sexual relationships makes it a very timely one. If this doesn't make every serious literary prize shortlist, I'll be very surpised." --Alice O'Keefe, The Bookseller, "An extraordinary novel...[and] the current debate about power and control in sexual relationships makes it a very timely one.

If this doesn't make every serious literary prize shortlist, I'll be very surpised." -- The Bookseller "Wryly observant and wholly cognizant... Barker's retelling of some of the most famous events of the Illiad feels strangely relevant to today--displaced peoples, war refugees, abandoned women and children, sexual violence--and assures us that women's voices will be silent no longer." -- BookPage "The arrival of The Silence of the Girls couldn't be more apropos... Barker has a knack for capturing the voices of women in everyday life." -- Publishers Weekly, " The Silence of the Girls is brilliant -- fascinating, riveting and blood chilling in its matter-of-fact attitude toward war and those who are its spoils.

Synopsis
A Washington Post Notable Book One of the Best Books of the Year: NPR, The Economist , Financial Times Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award Finalist for the Women's Prize for Fiction Here is the story of the Iliad as we've never heard it before: in the words of Briseis, Trojan queen and captive of Achilles. Given only a few words in Homer's epic and largely erased by history, she is nonetheless a pivotal figure in the Trojan War. In these pages she comes fully to life: wry, watchful, forging connections among her fellow female prisoners even as she is caught between Greece's two most powerful warriors. Her story pulls back the veil on the thousands of women who lived behind the scenes of the Greek army camp--concubines, nurses, prostitutes, the women who lay out the dead--as gods and mortals spar, and as a legendary war hurtles toward its inevitable conclusion. Brilliantly written, filled with moments of terror and beauty, The Silence of the Girls gives voice to an extraordinary woman--and makes an ancient story new again.
