Summary

Natalie Haynes: A Thousand Ships

This is not the story of one or two women. This is the story of all of them...

In the middle of the night, Creusa wakes up and realizes that her beloved city is burning. Ten seemingly endless years of Greco-Trojan conflict are now in the past. Troy has fallen. In just a few hours, the only way of life Creusa had ever known would be reduced to ashes...

The devastating effects of the fall of Troy were felt from Olympus to Mount Ida, from the central Trojan stronghold to the distant Greek islands, across the oceans and skies that lay in between. This is the story of all the women who took part in the legendary war - the Trojans whose fate is now in Greek hands, the Amazon queen who fought Achilles, Penelope waiting for Odysseus' return and the three goddesses whose feud started it all.

A Thousand Ships is a powerful narrative told entirely from a female point of view, giving voice to women, girls and goddesses who have been silent for so long.

"Passionate, witty and feminist as only she can be, Natalie Haynes gives voice to the long-silenced Trojan women."
– Madeline Miller, author of Kirke

"This layered and subversive re-examination of classic literature is a real treat."
- The Guardian

"Elegant, intelligent...Natalie Haynes has a thorough knowledge of the original myths and is a gifted storyteller; you won't be able to put the book down."
- The Times

"The basic premise of the novel defends the idea that women are as great heroes as men."
- Spectator
