Product Information

OVER 1.5 MILLION COPIES SOLD WINNER OF THE ORANGE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION THE INTERNATIONAL SENSATION A SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Captivating' DONNA TARTT 'I loved it' J K ROWLING 'Ravishingly vivid' EMMA DONOGHUE Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

  • A beautifully well written story

    Book arrived well packed and fast. This book is one of the best love stories ever written. It is thrilling as some of it is set against the background of the Trojan War. The author is a Classicist and knows her stuff and her writing styles is second to none. I cannot recommend this book enough.

  • Excellent retelling of the classic myth.

    Excellent retelling of the myth of Achilles and Patroculus. A great love story. I read Circe first and this is just as compelling. Achilles is painted in alot kinder light than many accounts conidering his bloody career and his treatment of Hector's corpse. Beautifully produced book jacket too. If you enjoy it please try Pat Barker's Silence of the Girls for the female perspective.
