Madeline Miller LGBTQ+ Books Editorial Review
Madeline Miller's "The Song of Achilles" retells the story of the Trojan War from the perspective of Patroclus, who is depicted as the childhood friend and lover of Achilles. The book has been praised for its brilliant storytelling, spare and poetic Prose, and its ability to evoke emotions in the reader. Readers have been drawn into the story and found themselves feeling the pain and emotions of the characters during the battles. The narrative maintains a steady increase in tempo until, at the height of the action during the war, the reader is careening forward at breakneck speed. Despite Greek gods, goddesses, sea nymphs, and mortals smacking of an early version of science fiction, Miller was able to deliver an engaging and memorable story.
