  Son of Nobody

  Yann Martel

  A recreation of the Trojan War, this striking novel tells the story of Harlow Donne, a Canadian scholar studying at Oxford, who discovers and pieces together fragments of a lost epic that, unlike Homer’s Iliad, recounts the war from a commoner’s perspective. The fragments appear in epic-style verse, and Harlow’s story of what he makes of them – and at what price – is told in the footnotes, addressed to his daughter, Helen.
