A lush, seductive novel of the legendary beauty whose face launched a thousand ships” Daughter of a god, wife of a king, prize of antiquity’s bloodiest war, Helen of Troy has inspired artists for millennia. Now Margaret George, the highly acclaimed bestselling historical novelist, has turned her intelligent, perceptive eye to the myth that is Helen of Troy.Margaret George breathes new life into the great Homeric tale by having Helen narrate her own story. Through her eyes and in her voice, we experience the young Helen’s discovery of her divine origin and her terrifying beauty. While hardly more than a girl, Helen married the remote Spartan king Menelaus and bore him a daughter. By the age of twenty, the world’s most beautiful woman was resigned to a passionless marriage—until she encountered the handsome Trojan prince Paris. And once the lovers flee to Troy, war, murder, and tragedy become inevitable.In Helen of Troy, Margaret George has captured a timeless legend in a mesmerizing tale of a woman whose life was destined to create strife—and destroy civilizations.

    Helen of Troy is more than a part of history

    I recently heard a review about this book and decided to get it for myself. Upon going into a bookstore I found it was priced around $30. As much as I wanted to read it, I didn't want to spend so much money. I was able to find it on Half. com for a much better price. I love that is a book based on a historical figure, but it has been changed to be only from the perception of Helen. The fictional tale will keep the reader interested until the very end. Although it is so large it did take me quite a while to read it.

    Slow, losing interest. Then you get to the war.

    Soooooo slow. Does it have to start off with Helen at 3-4 years old? How is it they were together all those years with no children?

    VERY INTERESTING! DON'T PASS UP THIS BOOK!

    This is a fantastic book! It tells the tale of Helen of Troy in a way that I have never read before. Margaret George sweeps you into the turbulent life of Helen of Sparta who later became known as Helen of Troy - the face that launched a thousand ships. This author really knows how to draw you in and keep you interested until the very end - and leaves you wanting more. I highly recommend this book to add to your summertime reading list.

    Helen of Troy by Magaret George

    I am an avid reader and dearly love all of Margaret George's books. Helen of Troy did NOT dissapoint me. It took me to the ancient cities of Sparta and Troy with all of Margaret George's story telling. I long for her to write another book since I have read and own all of her previous books. You will not be disappointed in this book or any other book of hers. This is higly recommended for people who enjoy reading ancient history.
