Song of Achilles

Sam

“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.”

“Have you ever read a book so good you could read it again for the first time? This is that. Beautiful, thrilling, lovely, made me smile and cry. Time for a re-read asap”

“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.””
