I saw The Odyssey and thought it was time to reread Madeline Miller’s thoughtful, lyrical novels. Insightful and written with grace, I see so much more depth and beauty on a second reading.

“Madeline Miller is the queen of minor character POV stories. This one retells the Trojan War from the perspective of Patroclus, the lover and lifelong partner of Achilles. It's heartbreaking so have tissues at the ready.”

“Absolutely ripped my heart out. Still thinking about it regularly years later. Top 5 favorite books of all-time. “I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.””
