The Voyage Home is an
electrifying, poignant exploration of community, love, and loss.
Written by Pat Barker as the third installment in the ‘Women of Troy’ series, The Voyage Home retells another aspect of the story of Troy from a powerful female perspective. However, it is
important to be aware that themes of slavery, r**e, death, and violence are explored throughout the novel, and these themes may affect some readers.

What will they make of us, the people of those unimaginably distant times? One thing I do know: they won’t want the brutal reality of conquest and slavery.
They won’t want to be told about the massacres of men and boys, the enslavement of women and girls. They won’t want to know we were living in a r**e camp. No, they’ll go for something altogether softer. A love story, perhaps?’

Barker retells the story of Homer’s Iliad from a feminist perspective.
The story of the Trojan War is widely romanticised with a focus on the great warriors like Achilles, Agamemnon and Odysseus; The Silence of the Girls instead explores the war from the point of view of Queen Briseis - Achilles’ s*x slave.
