Synopsis
The War at Troy breathes vigorous new life into the myths of Homer's Illiad, skillfully rejuvenating Paris and Helen, Agamemnon and Clytaemnestra, Achilles, Odysseus and Hector in this startingly contemporary drama of the passions. Here two powerful generations of men and women live out their destinies in the timeless zone where myth and history intersect, and where quarrels among immortal gods mirror the conflicts of the human heart. This imaginative retelling will surely benefit from the renewed interest in this classic tale (the movie "Troy" starring Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom lands in May 2004).

Review
Praise for The Chymical Wedding:
"I'm awed by the web you've spun. Not only the beautiful complexities of it but the fine texture of the threads. Full of wise things."
--Ted Hughes
"Excited me more than any other English fiction for some time."
-- John Fowles
"Engrossing. By the time we start wanting to resist, it is too late. The book already has drawn us too deeply into . . . its rich, gothic folds of plot."
--Chicago Tribune
