Sinopse

THE MOST FAMOUS WOMAN IN MYTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN JUDGED. THIS IS HER STORY.


 



Helen of Troy has been blamed for a war for three thousand years. In this powerful feminist retelling, Susan C. Wilson explores Helen's life not as legend or symbol, but as a woman shaped by love, marriage, and impossible choices. Trapped in a political marriage and valued only for her beauty and fertility, Helen must navigate a world where women are traded to secure power and punished for male ambition. When her decision to leave Sparta sets the Trojan War in motion, she becomes both scapegoat and prize, judged by gods and mortals alike.



 



As the conflict gathers and the stories told about her harden into myth, Helen struggles with guilt, identity, and the cost of survival in a brutal Bronze Age world. Told through rich character driven storytelling and grounded in meticulous historical research, Helen's Judgement examines how women are blamed, silenced, and remembered, and what it means to reclaim a voice when history has already passed sentence.



 



Perfect for readers of feminist myth retellings such as Circe, The Song of Achilles, and The Silence of the Girls, this is a compelling reimagining of one of mythology's most misunderstood women, and the human truth behind the legend.

    Millie Appleby, a farmer’s daughter, hopes to make a positive difference by becoming a surgeon. While working towards her goal, a devastating break-up with her first love Giles, threatens to derail her. When at eighteen, she swaps her sleepy Sussex village life for the bright lights of London to study medicine, she attracts the attention of the very suave and sophisticated Zane, who has so much to offer. 
    Returning home for the holidays, Millie meets musician and former recording artist Ben, but his unconventional past sounds alarm bells for those around her. As the weeks, months and years go by, several unexpected revelations throw Millie into an emotional turmoil, struggling to decide who to choose, what to believe, and in the end, whether she is able to trust again. 
    From the author of ‘A Year at Marshywood,’ comes another classic tale of love and loss, longing and laughter. Once again, Marina McLune’s unique style offers up a generous sprinkling of musical nostalgia, natural world beauty and cultural references from days gone by. 
    It’s time to head back to the 1980s!* 
    This tender, unashamedly romantic and beautifully written story keeps you guessing right through to the end. Although touching on some hard-hitting subjects, A Visit to Stoneybrook is both positive and optimistic, and its Christian message and many pop song references will hopefully bring you joy. 
    * Although A Year at Marshywood sets the backdrop to this novel, A Visit to Stoneybrook is a standalone sequel and may be enjoyed on its own. 
    Readers' Reviews 
    ‘Another beautifully written book by the very talented and gifted Marina McLune’. EH 
    'A very sweet story. At times, you can actually feel the story, so real. Some heartbreak, some joy, a real life story'. Bev
