NATIONAL BESTSELLER
An NPR Best Book of the Year
“Gorgeous.... With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Natalie Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War.”—Madeline Miller, author of Circe
Shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, a gorgeous retelling of the Trojan War from the perspectives of the many women involved in its causes and consequences—for fans of Madeline Miller.
This is the women’s war, just as much as it is the men’s. They have waited long enough for their turn . . .
This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .
In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.
From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women whose lives, loves, and rivalries were forever altered by this long and tragic war.
A woman’s epic, powerfully imbued with new life, A Thousand Ships puts the women, girls and goddesses at the center of the Western world’s great tale ever told.

I stumbled on Madeline Miller's "Circe" a couple of years ago and loved it. I read "Song of Achilles" after that despite HATING the Trojan War. This book is similar in how it fleshes out the bones of the original story, but it focuses on ALL the women.
My favorite part is Penelope. She tells the story of Odysseus via letters TO Odysseus describing the bard's stories about him. She is so gloriously snarky. You can tell Haynes is a "recovering comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greece and Rome." On audible, the author narrates, and it's fantastic.
"Because really, how many cannibalistic giants can one Greek plausibly meet as he sails the open seas? Even I, expert in your ability to create trouble, think one set is probably sufficient for your story."
"You met a monster. You met a witch. Cannibals broke your ships. A whirlpool ate your friends. Telemachus himself would never have come up with such excuses and he was a boy."
A must-read if you enjoyed Circe.

Her historical research is evident throughout. Unlike most novels, the characters are not weaved together with connections between each other. Their lives don't really intersect in that they don't meet. Their is connection is with their circumstances- as Greek or Trojan, all are affected by the war.
This is one of those novels that will stay with you. The author is exceptional as the reader; sing, Calliope indeed. The Muse has sung.
