Helen of Troy is just that: the story of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, the face that launched a thousand ships, the alleged cause of the Trojan War. It was the first of George’s weighty tomes about prominent historical figures to cross my path in used book form, so it’s where I began with her work. ![]() Helen of Troy by Margaret George is one of those books I’ve been meaning to read…oh, approximately forever. ![]()
