Central character is a very intelligent and courageous tween girl who lives through dangerous adventures but ultimately has a HEA ending. GODDESS OF YESTERDAY is very well researched. Although it is aimed at the YA market, it is commendably frank regarding the horrors of war, slavery, rape, and human sacrifice in bronze age Greece. Accordingly I do not recommended it for readers less than high school age. Adults with an interest in Ancient Greece will also enjoy it. My only criticism - also shared by another reviewer - is that the character of Helen is very one dimensional. Why is she so evil? Review: SO GOOD - If you're a mythology geek, this is the book for you. I first read it in high school, then picked it up again a few years later. Although it may be listed as a "children's book" it has incredibly mature themes and intense characters. I love the author's portrayal of Helen, Menelaus, and the rest. I'd recommend purchasing the hard-back, mostly because the cover art is so applicable to the book. The cover art of the paperback is lame (like whoever picked it/created it had never read the book). 100% recommend. I don't read many books twice, but I did with this one. I bought it off of desertcart for a friend for Christmas (another mythology nerd) and she loved it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,540,533 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #291 in Teen & Young Adult Greek & Roman Myths & Legends #2,004 in Teen & Young Adult Fantasy Action & Adventure #2,303 in Teen & Young Adult Epic Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (127) | | Dimensions | 5.19 x 0.62 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 7 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 038573865X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0385738651 | | Item Weight | 7.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | May 12, 2009 | | Publisher | Random House Children's Books | | Reading age | 12 years and up | ## Images ![Goddess of Yesterday - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X0xdJyiML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Novel About the Trojean War Suitable for Adults As Well As High School Age Teens. *by G***T on August 18, 2017* Outstanding novel about the origins of the Trojan War told from an unusual perspective.

It didn't try to retell the Trojan War, but it did a great job of re-imagining what led up to it. It was full of detail. As a Classicist, I could appreciate the imagination that went into this. My only dislike was that Helen felt stereotypical and flat to me as a character, whereas the rest of the characters were so vibrant and real. However, a few factors could have contributed to the decision to write Helen that way, and in the end I chose to accept the author's choice here, not as wrong but simply as not my preferred representation of Helen. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/10643982-goddess-of-yesterday](https://www.desertcart.id/products/10643982-goddess-of-yesterday) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
