"The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller An adaptation of Homer's "Iliad" as told from the perspective of Patroclus doesn't sound like it would be sob-inducing, but here we are. You don't need a background in Greek mythology to enjoy Madeline Miller's fantastical tale, "The Song of Achilles" (£9) — just a heart for romance novels.
