In 'The Silence of the Girls', Pat Barker immerses us in the final weeks of the Trojan War, but from an unexplored perspective: that of women. Through the eyes of Briseis, a young woman who becomes Achilles' concubine after the sacking of her city, we witness the horrors and power dynamics within the Greek camp. This novel offers a moving and profound vision of war, where women, often silenced, become the true protagonists.
