A review by thisbookishcat
The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker

emotional sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No

3.0

I love Greek mythology and the whole story of Troy, but this fell short for me. I agree with a lot of the sentiment that this was just Achilles' story. If the author had fully committed to sticking with the story from Breseis' POV I probably would have enjoyed it more.

I'm not sure I'll read the rest of the books in this series because of it. It wasn't awful, it just didn't meet my expectations.
