“We all blamed Helen.” Helen’s Judgement tells the epic story of Greek mythology’s most scapegoated Helen of Troy. Haunted by her decision to leave her child behind when she fled 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 readers of Greek mythology and fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe, Jennifer Saint’s Elektra, and Pat Barker’s The Women of Troy.
