Amidst the turmoil of Agamemnon's drunkenness and the brewing conflict with Queen Clytemnestra, Ritsa strives to protect Cassandra while grappling with her own survival. Pat Barker reinterprets Greek mythology through a feminist lens, exploring themes of power, belief, and the complexities of female agency in a richly woven tale.
