The Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller

If you liked Circe, it’s time to go back and read Miller’s first take on Greek mythology, The Song of Achilles. When Patroclus is exiled at ten years old, he is quickly befriended by Achilles; over time, their friendship blossoms into more. As they follow Agamemnon to Troy to recover Helen, their differences in opinion on war and glory lead to conflict and, eventually, tragedy. Told in beautiful prose, Miller’s retelling of The Iliad is full of all the depth and wonderfully constructed characters you loved in Circe.
