Synopsis

All murders must be avenged.

While the rest of Greece mourns for the war that has taken their husbands away, Clytemnestra fears the day it will bring hers back.

When her husband willingly sacrifices their eldest daughter to appease the Gods, Clytemnestra vows to do whatever it takes to protect her remaining children. But in doing so she faces losing them altogether.

A story of love, loss, and bitter betrayals, A Spartan's Sorrow shows that sometimes you must risk it all to protect the ones you love.

If you are a fan of vengeful Gods and fierce family rivalries you will love Hannah Lynn's epic tale of ancient Greece's most formidable Queen.

She would be hanged, or worse.” The main plot of this book is whenever a king is killed in order for his so......more

I don't know why the Italian translation of the title is "La vendetta degli dei" ("The vengeance of the gods"): "A Spartan's Sorrow" is certainly a more appropriate title! Here is the story of a female figure who is very often overlooked in Greek mythology and its retellings, often obscured by chara......more

Hannah Lynn a mio avviso continua a provarci senza riuscirci, rimanendo superficiale rispetto alle numerose tematiche che potevano essere esplorate. Ma poi qualcunə lo vuole modificare un po' il mito greco o dobbiamo continuare a ripetere sempre le stesse cose?......more
