Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

“One of my absolute favorites”

I have never truly understood or sympathized with Achilles until I read this book. Miller has made me see him from an entirely different perspective. This is a heartwrenching story about Achilles told through the perspective of his dear friend Patroclus. If you are someone who loves greek mythology and history, then this book is for you. I would deem it as a tragic love story that deserves to be told. "He is half of my soul, as the poets say"

“One of my all-time favorite books”

This book is just something else entirely. If you're someone who loves historical fiction and mythology, this is IT. This is THE book. Madeline Miller does an absolutely wonderful job of bringing the world, myths and heroes of old Greece to life, and the result here is a stunning, original and absolutely gripping rendition of the story of Achilles and Patroklus, sure to have you gripped from the very first page to the last one.

“A heartwrenching love story”

The tale of the infamous Achilles told through the perspective of the exiled Prince Patroclus. A beautiful, worthy and tragic story of a somewhat frowned upon relationship. A must read!

"The Song of Achilles" är en fantastisk debut! Kärlek, krig, lojalitet, och hjältemod. Läs den och älska den! Missa heller inte att läsa Millers andra bok "Circe".
