Описание: For millennia, men have told the legend of the woman whose face launched a thousand ships--but now it's time to hear her side of the story. Daughters of Sparta is a tale of secrets, love, and tragedy from the women behind mythology's most devastating war, the infamous Helen and her sister Klytemnestra. As princesses of Sparta, Helen and Klytemnestra have known nothing but luxury and plenty. With their high birth and unrivaled beauty, they are the envy of all of Greece. But such privilege comes at a cost. While still only girls, the sisters are separated and married to foreign kings of their father's choosing--the powerful Agamemnon, and his brother Menelaos. Yet even as Queens, each is only expected to do two things: birth an heir and embody the meek, demure nature that is expected of women. But when the weight of their husbands' neglect, cruelty, and ambition becomes too heavy to bear, Helen and Klytemnestra must push against the constraints of their society to carve new lives for themselves, and in doing so, make waves that will ripple throughout the next three thousand years. Daughters of Sparta is a vivid and illuminating reimagining of the Siege of Troy, told through the perspectives of two women whose voices have been ignored for far too long.

Compulsive conclusion to 'Ground Sweet as Sugar'. Vivid characters will remain with you after you close the pages. Fabulous fiction threaded through history, which has completely captured my curiosity. So richly written, feels like I've watched a movie rather than read a book. - Review
A page-turning conclusion to a grand saga - For the Love of a Book
The characters were in depth and complex... there wasn't a moment I was not in awe of their humanity and flaws. I kept ending up in research rabbit holes with each historical reference. This book was fascinating. Highly recommend - Review
The Virtues of Vice is exactly the kind of conclusion I wanted for the Ground Sweet as Sugar duet. Catherine C. Heywood took all the puzzle pieces, jagged and otherwise that were laid out before us, and meticulously found their place... Wow. What a story. - MJ Loves to Read
I read this book in less than a day, I didn't want to put it down. - Review
Heywood, as always, provides a story that drags the reader into some wonderful escapism, romance and high drama.
A book of consuming love, justice, power and revenge, where the end to all virtue is finally happiness. - Books, Tea, and Me

Описание:
"The fascinating story of arguably the greatest queen in sub-Saharan African history, who surely deserves a place in the pantheon of revolutionary world leaders." --Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Though largely unknown in the West, the seventeenth-century African queen Njinga was one of the most multifaceted rulers in history, a woman who rivaled Queen Elizabeth I in political cunning and military prowess. In this landmark book, based on nine years of research and drawing from missionary accounts, letters, and colonial records, Linda Heywood reveals how this legendary queen skillfully navigated--and ultimately transcended--the ruthless, male-dominated power struggles of her time.
"Queen Njinga of Angola has long been among the many heroes whom black diasporians have used to construct a pantheon and a usable past. Linda Heywood gives us a different Njinga--one brimming with all the qualities that made her the stuff of legend but also full of all the interests and inclinations that made her human. A thorough, serious, and long overdue study of a fascinating ruler, Njinga of Angola is an essential addition to the study of the black Atlantic world." --Ta-Nehisi Coates
"This fine biography attempts to reconcile her political acumen with the human sacrifices, infanticide, and slave trading by which she consolidated and projected power." --New Yorker
"Queen Njinga was by far the most successful of African rulers in resisting Portuguese colonialism... Tactically pious and unhesitatingly murderous...a commanding figure in velvet slippers and elephant hair ripe for big-screen treatment; and surely, as our social media age puts it, one badass woman." --Karen Shook, Times Higher Education
