The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller

Standalone

About The Song of Achilles

Patroclus, an awkward prince, becomes the companion of Achilles and watches helplessly as the man he loves is consumed by his own legend. Miller's debut is the natural companion to Circe — the same luminous prose, the same deep compassion for characters who never had a choice, and a grief that hits you somewhere permanent.
