I'm sure we all know the climax of the tale of Achilles, but do you know his true story? This was the first novel published by Madeline Miller, who, by the way, has her master's in Classical Studies. The book is GENIUS, I so thoroughly enjoyed it. It is narrated by Achilles' chosen friend, Patroclus, and tells the story of their boyhood all the way through to the battle of Troy. I loved this book. I would recommend this book to any and everyone, the writing is so vivid and beautiful, and the story is familiar enough but there were also things that I discovered I never knew. One of my favorite reads of this year! Pages- 416 Published- 2011 Author- Madeline Miller Let me know what you think! What book should I read next? Follow me on my socials, and let's chat books!
