The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller spent over a decade writing The Song of Achilles – a fantasy romance retelling of Homer’s epic poem The Iliad – and it shows. Just as the title promises, the prose of this novel sings on the page. The poetry revolves around the tender love affair between the demigod Achilles and the mortal Patroclus, following their journey from childhood companions, to teenage lovers, to ride or die adult partners who meet a tragic end in the Trojan War. Yes, this novel is a downer, but a beautiful one – like watching a shot swan plummet out of the sky. You’ll ugly cry through the last fifty pages, and crack up again when you realize this novel’s words have – like the grapes that make the bittersweet wine of Dionysius – been pressed onto the inside of your heart. Yeah, that was a purple prose metaphor. Sue me.
