Anmeldelser
«Haynes is master of her trade . . . She succeeds in breathing warm life into some of our oldest stories»
Telegraph
«A gripping feminist masterpiece»
Deborah Frances-White, <i>The Guilty Feminist</i>
«With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War. Her thoughtful portraits will linger with you long after the book is finished»
Madeline Miller, author of <i>Circe</i>
«Natalie Haynes is swiftly becoming this generation’s Mary Renault; her retelling of the Trojan war from an all-female perspective, A Thousand Ships, is her best yet.»
Observer
«Haynes takes the baton from Renault and runs with it. Her modern take on antiquity is exquisitely informed without ever being research-heavy . . . Glorious!»
Damian Barr
«Haynes expertly crafts an emotional and vivid historical tale with high stakes and female empowerment at its core»
Woman's Own
«Absorbing and fiercely feminist»
Guardian
«The forgotten women are vividly brought to life in this moving, intelligent and witty book»
Martha Kearney, BBC Radio 4
«Elegant, intelligent . . . Haynes combines a wide-ranging knowledge of the original myths with a gift for compelling narrative»
The Times
«A sparkling narrative . . . A Thousand Ships blows the dust off the classics»
Washington Post
«Haynes is the nation’s great muse, and her latest retelling of the story of Troy told from the perspective of Helen and the women of The Iliad is beautiful»
Adam Rutherford, The Week
«If you are new to myths, then this is a learned, well-fashioned introduction, with many shining moments of subtle power»
Spectator
«A joy to read: fast paced, cracking with emotion and tension»
Professor Michael Scott
«Here, in this treat of a book, the women take centre stage - and how brilliantly . . . Natalie Haynes brings them to witty, lyrical, scintillating life . . . A book to both savour and devour»
Suzannah Lipscomb
«Breathtaking . . . Her writing isn’t merely clever, or elegant, or (at times) extremely funny - though it is all of those things. It’s also viscerally vivid.»
Catherine Nixey
