For those wishing to immerse themselves in the classical, or historical world, doing some further/ extra reading really can work wonders. Popular fiction can be invaluable for helping students get a ‘feel for the times’. For both Classics and Ancient History A Level students, a great place to start is with The Silence of the Girls, by Pat Barker. First published by Penguin in May 2019 the book went on to become a bestseller.
