Finished Pat Barker's Another World last night and was slightly disappointed. I loved the Regeneration Trilogy and the first two of her Ancient Greece trilogy, but Another World seemed a bit unfinished, where two very different types of stories didn't ever quite line up in a meaningful way.

#TheSilenceOfTheGirls sounds (well, you know what I mean) like a very interesting book. Saw the Swedish edition, as well as the second in the series (in English) in the shop today. I have a mile high TBR pile, so I never brought them home.I should have, shouldn't I?
Currently reading #Machine by #ElizabethBear and enjoying it.
Just finished #TheGoldenEnclaves by #NaomiNovik, and loved the whole #Scholomance series.

CW: What I’m reading; The Silence of the Girls
Have you read #TheSilenceOfTheGirls by #PatBarker? I’m only about 5 years late! I don’t know how I missed it, but saw the sequel in a ‘best of 2022’ round up (also now on my list)
I LOVED this - a feminist retelling of the Iliad, from the perspective of Briseis (Achilles’ ‘prize’ & ‘bed slave’)
