Beauty's Daughter: The Story of Hermione and Helen of Troy

(4) YA Meyer retells the origin, experience, and fall-out of the Trojan War through the eyes of Hermione, the neglected daughter of Helen of Troy. Hermione's ambivalence toward her infamous mother, her struggle to chart her own destiny, and her own troubled romantic ambitions shape the thin plot that Meyer builds around authoritative explanations of Greek myths, heroic backstories, and dynastic relationships.
