"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by
Breaking the Spine to spotlight an upcoming release that we're excited about. This week I'm waiting on
Beauty's Daughter by Carolyn Meyer.
What is it like to be the daughter of the most beautiful woman in the world?
Hermione knows . . . her mother is Helen of Troy, the famed beauty of
Greek myth. Helen is not only beautiful but also impulsive, and when she
falls in love with charming Prince Paris, she runs off with him to
Troy, abandoning her distraught daughter. Determined to reclaim their
enchanting queen, the Greek army sails for Troy. Hermione stows away in
one of the thousand ships in the fleet and witnesses the start of the
legendary Trojan War. In the rough Greek encampment outside the
walls of Troy, Hermione’s life is far from that of a pampered princess.
Meanwhile, her mother basks in luxury in the royal palace inside the
city. Hermione desperately wishes for the gods and goddesses to
intervene and end the brutal war—and to bring her love. Will she end up
with the handsome archer Orestes, or the formidable Pyrrhus, leader of a
tribe of fierce warriors? And will she ever forgive her mother for
bringing such chaos to her life and the lives of so many others?
Beauty's Daughter comes out October 8, 2013.

Sounds good, hope you enjoy
ReplyDeleteThis one is on my TBR list as well. I love anything that deals with Helen of Troy/Greek Mythology. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see a book involving Greek mythology that isn't focused around the Persephone/Hades story, I get a little more interested. ;) This book sounds rather interesting.

Mythology is so awesome, I am really liking the sound of this one. I'll have to be on the lookout for this, thanks for sharing!

I've been wanting to read this one too. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! I haven't heard of this one yet but it sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Greek mythology, and I hadn't heard of this book, so thank you so much for sharing! I'm not totally familiar with Helen of Troy, so perhaps this will encourage me to look a bit further into her story! I can't wait to hear what you think when you manage to pick up a copy! :)
