This is the best book I've read this year. A philosophical examination of gender, power, art and war, translated from Christa Wolf's German. She tells Cassandra's story in a stream-of-consciousness narration that explores the ironies of the Trojan War from the viewpoint of the woman who saw it all coming, but thanks to a curse from Apollo, was not believed.

Reading this now. What a well-written and truly philosophical mystery! It's also very funny.
