LoveReading Says

A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The Song of Achilles, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list.

The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.

A breathtakingly original rendering of the Trojan War - a devastating love story and a tale of gods and kings, immortal fame and the human heart.

Winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction 2012.
