    Publisher's Note
    The siege of Troy has lasted almost ten years. Inside the walled city, food is scarce and death is common. From the heights of Mount Olympus, the Gods keep watch. But Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is bored with the endless, dreary war. Aided by Eros's bow, the goddess sends two sisters down a bloody path to an awful truth: In the fury of war, love strikes the deadliest blows.
    Heralded by fans and critics alike, Adèle Geras breathes personality, heartbreak, and humor into this classic story.


    Provides the story of the siege of Troy and the steps taken by the goddess Aphrodite to bring life into the tragic city after ten years of battle. Reprint. 50,000 first printing.

    Told from the point of view of the women of Troy, portrays the last weeks of the Trojan War, when women are sick of tending the wounded, men are tired of fighting, and bored gods and goddesses find ways to stir things up.

    Industry Reviews
    "Whatever foreknowledge Geras thus imparts steels even inexperienced readers to the certainty of tragedy. She delivers the sack of Troy as an ambitious, cinematic affair, viewed from many angels and narrated by many voices, and if she slips into melodrama once or twice, it's of little matter. She shows readers the uses of pity and terror."
    New York Times Book Review - Elizabeth Devereaux (07/15/2001)

    "It is Geras's focus on the domestic and personal aspects of this epic tale that sheds new light on a story that's survived the millennia. Her depictions of day-to-day life in a city exhausted by war are remarkable for their potent detail."
    Ruminator Review - Christine Alfano

    "This novel is ambitious, but nonetheless predictable, and it lacks sufficient pace to support its length."
    Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (09/01/2001)
