This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. It started my love for Greek mythology and it’s a book I felt like I was unable to let go of. It was a pure coincidence that I bought it, but I do not regret it one bit. The beautiful relationship between Achilles and Patroclus truly makes it a wonderful love story with no comparison. Favorite book ever.
