The bitch. That's what the crew call me. The bitch. They say it behind my back. But I can hear them. My name's Helen, I was born in Sparta, but I went away for love. They used to say I was the most beautiful woman in the world. The minstrels are already making up stories about how little I've won and how much I've lost. Lying tales. They weren't there, after all. But I was. From her childhood in Sparta, through the turbulent years of her marriage, and of course her disappearance with Paris and its consequences, Helen of Troy tells her own story.
"L'auteure, âgée de 19 ans, a su restituer de manière stupéfiante dans son roman historique les errances d'Hélène de Troie, cette célèbre reine antique dont la beauté fit le malheur des Grecs et des Troyens.--[Memento]."

"Helena de Troya es devuelta a su patria por su marido depués de la destrucción de la orgullosa ciudad. Al viento y a las olas, ella confía su propia historia. Nos habla de una criatura sedienta de amor, llena de pasión y sensualidad, pero obligada a casarse con un hombre al que no había elegido. Una decisión fatal, de la que nacerán lutos y tragedias, porque Helena buscará entre otros brazos aquello que le ha sido negado."
"Helen of Troy is returned to her homeland by her husband, Menelaus, after the destruction of the proud city. To the wind and waves, she tells her story. She tells us of a creature hungry for love, full of passion and sensuality, but forced to marry a man she would not have chosen. It was a fatal decision from which was born grief and tragedy, because Helen would then search among the arms of others that which had been denied her."
"Helen of Troy tells her own story, and so from the myth emerges a living, breathing woman of flesh and blood."
