About this listen
A spellbinding retelling of the story of Troy drawn from the perspective of the fearless women at the heart of it all.
The House of Atreus is cursed. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods.
Clytemnestra
The sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon—her hopes of averting the curse are dashed when her sister is taken to Troy by the feckless Paris. Her husband raises a great army against them and determines to win, whatever the cost.
Cassandra
Princess of Troy, and cursed by Apollo to see the future but never to be believed when she speaks of it. She is powerless in her knowledge that the city will fall.
Elektra
The youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Elektra is horrified by the bloodletting of her kin. But can she escape the curse, or is her own destiny also bound by violence?

Enjoyable listen
Fun historical fiction with a twist. Strong female characters with questionable morality. Would recommend if you like Greek history.

The reader was very good. the story Lost me a little...
I think that it was well worth listening to, but it's no Madeleine Miller! I didn't really LIKE any of the main characters, that said I felt so much compassion for the younger daughter of menalayus and Clyptonestra (sorry for any spelling mistakes) But she died very early on... her mother was rightfully stricken... then I tried to see the side of Elektra being starved of her father but really what a dreadful man and I could only side with the mother and the perpetuation of the curse of Atreus was just so annoying! worth listening but not going to fall in love with it when we are awash with such wonderful retellings!

A heartbreaking story given powerful voice.
The difference between each of the perspectives is breathtaking both in writing and audio. My heart aches for all three women in this tragedy and cannot overstate how much pure feeling every aspect brought me.

Crap!!!!!!
Really soapy and the voice of Elektra is unbearable- don’t waste your money. I love historical fiction and am a history teacher. This isn’t good!

Not what I expected
This book is well written and initially sounded like it might be a good story, but it is too gruesome for my tastes and I can't listen beyond Ephigenie's murder. I don't have the stomach for the horrific events.
