The Memoirs of Helen of Troy: A Novel

Who does not know the classical romantic tragedy of the celebrated beauty Helen of Troy?

I have read, studied and watched the films and the latest being Troywith Brad Pitt playing Achilles so well.

The half-immortal daughter of Zeus by Leda, queen of Sparta, Helen grows up nearly friendless, for her looks arouse women's jealousy. Her youthful sexuality awakened by Theseus, Helen quickly learns that her beauty is both a source of power and a curse. When she abandons her dull husband, Menelaus, for handsome Paris Alexandros of Troy and she became the curse that was the downfall of Troy.

The Memoirs of Helen of Troy: A Novel by Actress and author Leslie Carroll (Miss Match) checks in under an assumed name Amanda Elyot for her debut historical romance. You will enjoy it.
