From the Booker Prize-winning author of the Regeneration trilogy comes a brave and masterful retelling of The Iliad, as experienced by the captured women living in the Greek camp in the final weeks of the Trojan War.

The ancient city of Troy has withstood a decade under siege of the powerful Greek army, who continue to wage bloody war over a stolen woman--Helen. In the Greek camp, another woman watches and waits for the war's outcome: Briseis. She was queen of one of Troy's neighboring kingdoms, until Achilles, Greece's greatest warrior, sacked her city and murdered her husband and brothers. Briseis becomes Achilles's concubine and must adjust quickly in order to survive a radically different life. When Agamemnon, the brutal political leader of the Greek forces, demands Briseis for himself, she finds herself caught between the two most powerful of the Greeks. Keenly observant and cooly unflinching about the daily horrors of war, Briseis finds herself in an unprecedented position to observe the two men driving the Greek forces in what will become their final confrontation, deciding the fate not only of Briseis's people, but also of the ancient world.
Briseis is just one among thousands of women living behind the scenes in this war--the slaves and prostitutes, the nurses, the women who lay out the dead--all of them erased by history. With breathtaking historical detail and luminous prose, Pat Barker brings the world of the Greek camp to vivid life. She offers nuanced, complex portraits of characters and stories familiar from mythology, which, seen from Briseis's perspective, are rife with newfound revelations. Barker's latest builds on her decades-long study of war and its impact on individual lives--and it is nothing short of magnificent.

Love it.
Color: Silver
Update: I’ve had this charger for about 9-10 months. I still love it, but it seems that the watch charger is only working intermittently. Sometimes it charges and sometimes it doesn’t. Another odd thing with the watch charger is that my watch will chime occasionally in the middle of the night. Doesn’t do this on the standard Apple Watch charger, so, I’m not sure what is causing this. Due to these issues with the watch charger, I dropped one star. Original Review: This charger is great. The magnetic hold is strong and it keeps my iPhone 16 pro max solidly in place all night. Despite this solid hold it can remove it easily by sliding the phone up or down off of the magnet. The fact that I can charge my watch and air pods simultaneously is even better. Being able to store all three items on one device that takes up a small footprint on my nightstand is even better. The hold on these items is very light and they are easy to remove as well. There is a small green led light, but I can say I don’t even notice it.
