The Illiad retold from the perspective of a woman. The

wage bloody war over a stolen woman. In the Greek camp,

Boyne, John: A Ladder to the Sky.
If you look hard enough, you can find stories pretty much
anywhere. They don’t even have to be your own. Or so
would-be writer Maurice Swift decides very early on in his
career. Once Maurice has made his name, he sets off in
pursuit of other people’s stories. He doesn’t care where
he finds them — or to whom they belong — as long as they
help him rise to the top.
