Description
She's the most scapegoated heroine in Greek mythology, but there's never just one side to any story. This new framing uncovers the complexities of Helen of Troy—a woman tormented by the blame placed on her by others, and tortured by her own guilt.
We all blamed Helen.
Haunted by her decision to leave her child behind in fleeing her unhappy marriage, Helen seeks to build a new life in Troy with her lover, Paris. She yearns to recreate the childhood family she lost when she married Menelaus, but her outraged husband vows to regain her by force, at the head of a vast army.
Facing hostility from all sides, Helen must decide where her loyalty—and her safety—lies.
Perfect for fans of Greek mythology retellings, and Madeline Miller's Circe, Jennifer Saint's Elektra, and Pat Barker's The Women of Troy.

About the Author
Susan C. Wilson is a working-class Scottish writer. She developed a passion for ancient Greece during childhood after stumbling across tales of gods and heroes while browsing the dictionary for naughty words. She loves to explore what makes us human: the eternal motivations, desires and instincts that cross time and place. While researching her novels, she gained a diploma in Classical Studies from the Open University. She also has a degree in Journalism from Edinburgh Napier University. Most recently, she completed a Minoans and Mycenaeans course from the University of Oxford. The first novel in Susan's 'The House of Atreus' trilogy, her debut, Clytemnestra's Bind, was featured in the New York Times in 2024.
