Troy (The Novel)

Tittle: Troy
Author: Adele Geras
Page Read: 358/358

The whole story is set in about the time of ancient Greece. Its about the war between Troy and Greece, caused by the marriage of Paris (a Troy-an Prince) and Helen (Kings of Greece wife, the most beautiful woman in the world). The story itself is told through 3 people and 1 group of old ladies, this actually lets the reader understand more of whats happening and how people are describing the drama (rumors, gossip), since every person/group are working in different palaces.  The story both includes love, war, dishonesty, belief. I like this novel, since its well written and talks about something that actually happened.
