After reading Circe by Madeline Miller I really got the craving for more so I tried The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker and was really disappointed. I think partly I misunderstood the synopsis because I thought there would be more about Helen in the book which there wasn’t. But also the writing just was not my style. If your looking for a good feminist Greek retelling I suggest Circe, The Song of Achilles was also amazing.

Song of Achilles and Circe are both very good. I'd also suggest Helen of Troy by Margaret George and Lavinia by Ursula Le Guin. I've heard The Penelopiad is also a good read.
