– Selve boken og dens historie er utmerket, men bokklubben må endre bildet da det viser feil utgave av boken som ble sendt til meg. Trodde jeg kjøpte modern classics edition, men fikk den vanlige i stedet. Skuffet
The song of Achilles
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. Les mer

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, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.
But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

Kundevurdering:
Hvordan denne ikke ble populær sekundet den bleutgitt i 2011 vet jeg ikke. Men den reiv hjertet ut av brystet på meg, trampet det i stykker og nektet å gi det tilbake. Denne boka eier meg. Gjenfortelling av Achilles og Patroclus's kjærlighet, gjennom barndom, ungdom, voksenliv og krig. Alt fortalt gjennom Patroclus øyne.Marianne Nordgaard

– Denne boken er skrevet nydelig på så mange måter. Slutten er hjerteskjærende og umulig å glemme gråter bare ved tanken. Utviklingen mellom forholde til Achilles og Patroclus er fantastisk.
