520    "A raw and compelling portrait of 411 BC Greece in which 
       women must fight for justice and democracy" by the Strega 
       Prize-winning Italian novelist ( La Stampa ). Athens, 411 
       BC . As the Peloponnesian War draws to a close, a 
       political coup begins to take shape in Athens. Veterans of
       the infamous battle of Mantinea, Thrasyllus, and Polemon 
       now live as humble farmers in the countryside. They are 
       determined to find influential husbands for their 
       daughters, Glycera and Charis, but first they must defend 
       Athens from the oligarchs plotting to reinstate tyrannical
       rule. Young and impatient, Glycera and Charis soon become 
       infatuated with their neighbor's rich and arrogant son, 
       Cimon. When their fathers travel to Athens to see 
       Aristophanes's latest comedy, the girls use the chance to 
       accept an invitation to Cimon's house . . with no notion 
       of what awaits them on their visit. Alternating between 
       the secret drama playing out in the countryside and the 
       public one playing out onstage in Athens, Alessandro 
       Barbero weaves "a compelling story of women's valiant 
       struggles to maintain their dignity in a misogynistic 
       society" (Historical Novel Society).
