- 2012 Orange Best Novel Award Winner.The gods drove me out of my home at a young age, I could not object; I was a frail, incompetent, faded child. I couldn't find anything to say, I was just a mortal. I only knew what it was like to be alone and defeated. And how someone else's good fortune sank like a thorn when you were so defeated.But my pattern of destiny was not over yet. I am exiled to Aristos Achaion, kneeling at the sun of his beauty. I was defeated, but who would be ashamed of being defeated by such beauty? In our stories, he is mentioned as the best, the most heroic, the strongest of us. According to our stories, the reason for this is the divine blood flowing in his veins. Our stories are told by the elderly around the fire, they talk about heroes, but heroes never grow old. In our stories, it is told that the brave Achaeans won the war...Our stories don't tell the truth. There is no winner in a war. Ages pass, constellations spin above us, the moon and the sun follow their usual paths exhausted, and we, we, who have suffered disaster, we have fallen apart from our loved ones, the song of love that makes us tremble, lie restless in our ears where we fall.I, Madeline Miller, author of Circe, in The Song of Achilles, describe the demigod Achilles, who gave up his life for his glory, his companion Patroklos, and the Trojan War; It tells the epic of kings, gods and warriors through the eyes of two lovers.By conveying their striking and passionate love in a language as simple and subtle as Homer's gripping verse epic, Madeline Miller manages to convince us that these two young men exist in reality, not in legends. In this way, they enrich this story that has been told for 3000 years and pass it on to the next generation. -Mary Doria Russell, author of The SparrowA gripping retelling of the Iliad and its predecessors through the eyes of Patroklos; a book that is hard to put down, lovers of classical works will be fascinated by the wild side and ancient breeze at the core of the character of Goddess Thetis. -Donna Tartt, author of The GoldfinchThe Song of Achilles reveals the Iliad epic with a historical and fantastic narrative more realistic than you have ever read before... -Instinct Magazine Show more

Madeline Miller Editorial Review
**** "Akhilleus's Song" has captured the attention of readers with its enchanting storytelling and rich character descriptions, particularly for those fascinated by mythology. The compelling narrative weaves the tale of the Trojan War and explores the deep bond between Achilles and Patroclus, bringing their love story to life in a way that resonates well with fans of the genre. Many readers have found the book to be a thrilling experience, even likening it to the cinematic quality of the music from the "Oppenheimer" film, which they played in the background while reading. However, the reception is not without its criticisms. While some readers celebrated the engaging plot and character interactions, there were less favorable views regarding the portrayal of Patroclus. One reviewer felt that this character's depiction was too passive and effeminately rendered, which deviated from the warrior-like representation found in traditional myths. Despite these mixed feelings about character dynamics, the emotional connection between Achilles and Patroclus is acknowledged as beautifully crafted, and overall, readers are drawn to the book's gripping narrative. The Consensus among readers is that "Akhilleus's Song" is a must-read for mythology enthusiasts, offering both an immersive experience and a fresh take on a timeless saga. **
