"A brilliant reimagining of the Iliad, faithful to the original yet
completely accessible. A lively new take on a classic."--Terence
Hawkins, author of 'The Rage of Achilles'
"A fresh reinterpretation of the story of the Trojan War and the
fall of Troy. Hauser's characters are brave, willful, sometimes
foolish, impulsive, and utterly relatable, and her portrayal of the
manipulative, capricious gods is particularly wonderful.
Extensively researched and based on many of the minor characters of
Homer's great work, this quick-paced, enthralling retelling will
attract readers who loved Madeline Miller's The Song of
Achilles."-- "Library Journal (starred)"
"In the vein of authors like Marion Zimmer Bradley and Ursula K. Le
Guin, For the Most Beautiful gives this well-worn tale new life."--
"Bookreporter"
