Given only a few words in Homer's epic and largely erased by history, she is nonetheless a pivotal figure in the Trojan War. In these pages she comes fully to life: wry, watchful, forging connections among her fellow female prisoners even as she is caught between Greece's two most powerful warriors. Her story pulls back the veil on the thousands of women who lived behind the scenes of the Greek army camp--concubines, nurses, prostitutes, the women who lay out the dead--as gods and mortals spar, and as a legendary war hurtles toward its inevitable conclusion. Brilliantly written, filled with moments of terror and beauty, \u003ci\u003eThe Silence of the Girls\u003c\/i\u003e gives voice to an extraordinary woman--and makes an ancient story new again.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePat Barker is the author of \u003ci\u003eUnion Street\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlow Your House Down\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLiza's England\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Wasn't There\u003c\/i\u003e, the Regeneration trilogy (\u003ci\u003eRegeneration\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Eye in the Door\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Road\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Booker Prize), \u003ci\u003eAnother World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBorder Crossing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDouble Vision\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Life Class trilogy (\u003ci\u003eLife Class\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eToby's Room\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNoonday\u003c\/i\u003e).
