“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.

Towards the end i thought the sad part was over and that I was fine, but then the last chapter came and fucking punched me in the face all over again. Love this book, don't think ill ever get over it.

Türkçesini bekliyorum. Hele ki Ben Kirke’yi seslendiren Damla Sönmez seslendirirse harika olur

This is probably my favourite book that I have read. Madeleine Miller writes about a popular myth and still manages to make the book interesting for those who know the myth up and down. She has an amazing writing style and she manages to keep the story of the Trojan war alive with this amazing book.

I loved it honeslty. There are a lot of subtle motives sprinkled around in there. I especially loved the fact that it wasnt cheesy or cringy. The love that those two had felt real, without any unnecessary drama of cheating and what not. They knew that they love eachother and everyone else did as well ❤️
