“At once a scholar’s homage to The Iliad and startlingly original work of art by an incredibly talented new novelist….A book I could not put down.” —Ann Patchett
“Mary Renault lives again!” declares Emma Donoghue, author of Room, referring to The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller’s thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War. A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer’s enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller’s monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction’s brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough’s Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes.

Como obra literaria logra dar un giro de tuerca a una de las historias más conocida y referida de la cultura occidental, creando además una línea narrativa alterna bellísima, centrada en la vida de Patroclo y lo más terrenal y mejor de Aquiles. Además hace una crítica fundamental a la idea de la guerra, a su sinsentido, sus motivaciones y raíz patriarcal, integrando la idea fundamental de que la guerra no es cosa de mujeres en el corazón de la historia que hizo de una mujer el pretexto de la misma. Gran novela.

Very well read. I learned much of the legend in a great way of story telling.

Maybe I had hopes way too high for this one idk, I never felt part of the story, not once did I feel myself in the character's skin as great books do. I could understand why Patroclus was so in love with Achilles but it was never explained why that love was reciprocated. How you have Briseis say outloud what Patroclus meant to her but not Achilles, who supposedly loved him more than anything?
