• Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction. Powerfully told from an all-female perspective, in A Thousand Ships, broadcaster and classicist Natalie Haynes retells the story of the Trojan War - putting the women, girls and goddesses at the centre of the story. For fans of Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles and Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls . This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all... In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen. From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women embroiled in the legendary war. With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Natalie Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War. - Madeline Miller , author of Circe A gripping feminist masterpiece. - Deborah Frances-White, The Guilty Feminist
