Notă biografică
Pat Barker was born in Yorkshire and began her literary career in her forties, when she took a short writing course taught by Angela Carter. Encouraged by Carter to continue writing, she sent her fiction out. Thirty-five years later, she has published sixteen novels, including her masterful Regeneration Trilogy, been made a CBE for services to literature, and won the UK's highest literary honour, the Booker Prize.
Her last novel, The Silence of the Girls, began the story of Briseis, the forgotten woman at the heart of one of the most famous war epics ever told. It was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction, the Costa Novel Award and the Gordon Burn Prize, and won an Independent Bookshop Award 2019. The Women of Troy continues that story. Pat Barker lives in Durham.
Recenzii
A stunning return to form
Angry, thoughtful, sad, deeply humane and compulsively readable,The Silence of the Girlsshows that 36 years after her first novel was published,Barker is a writer at the peak of her powers
Its magnificent final section can't help but make you reflect on the cultural underpinnings of misogyny, the women throughout history who have been told by men to forget their trauma...You are in the hands of a writer at the height of her powers
An assured triumph
Animportant, powerful, memorable bookthat invites us to look differently not only atThe Iliadbut at our own ways of telling stories about the past and the present, and at how anger and hatred play out in our societies
She gives a voice to the voiceless...The Silence of the Girlsis a book that will be read in generations to come
An impressive feat of literary revisionismthat should be on the Man Booker longlist... This is a story about the very real cost of wars waged by men...Barker makes us re-think history
Giving voice to the voiceless, this is a gripping feat of imagination that succeeds in being relevant today
The most important novel based onThe Iliadso far this century
The magic of Barker's book is that the resonance ofgiving silenced women a voice at the centre of the storyis just as relevant today
