(1) YA Homer's immortal tales of Paris and Helen, Achilles and Hector, and Odysseus and the Trojan horse are recast in the form of a modern novel, using the heroes' fates as background and focus for the real subjects: the women of Troy. As in the epics, love and war are inseparable themes, though here the heroic shares space with the ordinary. Geras handles both her chosen perspective and her subject's grand themes with aplomb.
