520			_a"The Ruinous Face" by Maurice Hewlett is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the legendary Trojan War, the book explores the themes of love, betrayal, and the complex nature of desire through the lens of the infamous Helen of Troy. It delves into the emotional landscape of its characters as they navigate the tumultuous consequences of war and infatuation. In this retelling, the narrative is centered around Helen as she grapples with her dual allegiances to Menelaus, her husband, and Paris, the prince of Troy. As the siege of Troy stretches into its tenth year, Menelaus yearns for the return of his wife, who remains ensnared in Paris's affections. Through a series of poignant and intimate encounters, Helen's inner conflicts emerge, reflecting her struggle with her identity and choices as she oscillates between the love she once had for Menelaus and the life she now leads with Paris. Ultimately, her story culminates in tragic decisions that lead to her seeking freedom from the shackles of her "ruinous face," symbolizing the duality of beauty and the destructive nature of desire.
