Cassandra, daughter of the King of Troy, is endowed with the gift of prophecy but fated never to be believed. After ten years of brutal war, Troy has fallen to the Greek army, and Cassandra is now a prisoner of war, shackled outside the gates of a foreign fortress, Agamemnon's Mycenae. Through memories of her childhood and reflections on the long years of conflict, Cassandra pieces together the legendary fall of her city. A woman living in an age of heroes, Cassandra reveals the untold personal story that has been lost among the triumphs of Achilles and Hector.

Christa Wolf (1929-2011) was one of the most celebrated German writers of the twentieth century. Wolf was a central figure in East German literature and politics, and the author of many books, including the novels The Quest for Christa T. and Patterns of Childhood, as well as short stories, essays and film scripts. In 1980 she travelled to Greece accompanied by her husband, Gerhard, and was inspired to write four essays entitled Cassandra: Conditions of a Narrative, along with the novel Cassandra.
