La canción de Aquiles / The Song of Achilles

by Madeline Miller

Overview

In this masterful retelling of Homer's Iliad, an awkward, young price named Patroclus is exiled to Phthia, where he lives in the shadow of King Peleus and his divine son Achilles. Achilles is everything that Patroclus isn't, but he takes him under his wing and the two become skilled in the arts of war. When the news arrives that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the men of Greece decide to attack Troy. Achilles, seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, joins the fight. Patroclus, torn between the love and fear of his friend, follows him to battle. They never could have imagined that everything they have learned and valued will be put to the test.
