Madeline Miller: Song of Achilles (2021, Bloomsbury Publishing Plc)
English language
Published Nov. 7, 2021 by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.
This is the story of the seige of Troy from the perspective of Achilles best-friend Patroclus. Although Patroclus is outcast from his home for disappointing his father he manages to be the only mortal who can keep up with the half-God Archilles. Even though many will know the facts behind the story the telling is fresh and engaging.
A tragedy of narcissistic proportions. Nicely written & well paced. Feels real without losing its mythic aura.
