<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A beautiful new edition of this tale of the Trojan War by award-winning author Adèle Geras <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The classic struggle between Greece and Troy brought to life by a panoramic chorus of voices both humble and high, human and divine. <br> The siege of Troy has lasted almost ten years. Inside the walled city, food is becoming scarce and the death toll is rising. From the heights of Mount Olympus, the Gods keep watch. <br> But Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is bored with the endless, dreary war, and so she turns her attention to two sisters: Marpessa, who is gifted with God-sight and serves as handmaiden to Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world; and Xanthe, who is kind and loving and tends the wounded soldiers in the Blood Room. When Eros fits an arrow to his silver-lit bow and lets it fly, neither sister will escape its power. <br> With vitality and grace, Adèle Geras breathes personality, heartbreak, and humor into this classic story. This is truly an inspired novel, in which the Gods move among mortals and an ancient city is brought to life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An ALA Best Book for Young Adults <br> A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year <br> A Smithsonian Magazine Notable Book for Children <br> A Carnegie Medal Finalist <br> A Whitbread Award Finalist <br> A Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book <p/> "Engrossing. . . .
