Helpful Score: 1

I'm a sucker for historical fiction, and I've read a lot of it, some very good and some atrocious, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. This book also takes place in a time and place (Trojan-war aftermath in the Mediterranean) that I haven't read much about, so I was a little hesitant, not being a huge fan of classical mythology. To my very pleasant surprise I found this both extremely well written and a great story to boot. The author, who I definitely want to read more of, did a great job of making accessible the lives of these long-ago people who had a very different view of the world than we do.
