Review
Praise for The War at Troy:
‘I found The War at Troy a triumph of retelling the ancient story of the siege and its aftermath, a readable and freshened version that keeps one turning the pages’
Alan Sillitoe
‘It is an engaging retelling of the whole story, neatly blending mythic archaism with modern psychodrama and satire.’
Guardian
