Pat Barker’s trilogy gives voice to those left in the margins: Briseis and the silenced women of Troy. Their strength endures.

1. The Silence of the Girls (2018)

A retelling of The Iliad from the perspective of Briseis, a Trojan queen-turned-slave. This novel gives voice to the women silenced by history, exposing the brutality and resilience of those caught in war.

2. The Women of Troy (2021)

Continuing The Silence of the Girls, this book follows Briseis and other Trojan women in the aftermath of Troy’s fall. As prisoners in a Greek camp, they navigate grief, survival, and the lingering echoes of war.

3. The Voyage Home (Upcoming 2025)

Expected to complete Briseis’ journey, likely exploring the return of the Greeks and the fate of the women left in the shadows of legend.
