From the bestselling author of 'Autobiography of Henry VIII, Memoirs of Cleopatra,' and 'Mary, Called Magdalene,' comes a lush, seductive novel of the legendary beauty whose face 'launched a thousand ships,' the mythic woman who was Helen of Troy. Helen of Troy (2006) incorporates the whole myth cycle of the Trojan War and its aftermath, weaving together all the different strands of the story.
An exquisite page-turner with a cast of irresistible characters-Odysseus, Hector, Achilles, Priam, Clytemnestra, Agamemnon, as well as Helen and Paris themselves-and a wealth of material that reproduces the Age of Bronze in all its glory, 'Helen of Troy' brings to life a war that we have all learned about but never before experienced. The 'New York Times' bestseller from Margaret George, author of 'Mary, Called Magdalene 'and 'Elizabeth I' With her amazing ability to summon the voices of historical characters, Margaret George tells the story of the woman whose face 'launched a thousand ships' in 'Helen of Troy.' Laden with doom, yet surprising in its moments of innocence and beauty, this is a beautifully told story of a legendary woman and her times.
