Review

1) A captivating retelling of the Iliad and events leading up to it through the point of view of Patroclus: it’s a hard book to put down, and any classicist will be enthralled by her characterisation of the goddess Thetis, which carries the true savagery and chill of antiquity- DONNA TARTT , The Times 

2) This is a deeply affecting version of the Achilles story: a fully three dimensional man – a son, a father, husband and lover – now exists where a superhero previously stood and fought – Observer 

3) Extraordinary … Beautifully descriptive and heart-achingly lyrical, this is a love story as sensitive and intuitive as any you will find – Daily Mail 

4) I loved it – J.K.Rowling 

5) A remarkably fresh take on one of the most familiar narratives in western literature- The Times 

6) Mary Renault lives again! A ravishingly vivid and convincing version of one of the most legendary of love stories -EMMA DONOGHUE 

7) Original, clever, and in a class of its own … an incredibly compelling and seductive read -Independent on Sunday 

8)Sexy, dangerous, mystical – BETTANY HUGHES 

9) If I were to give a prize for the best work of fiction I’ve read this year, this would be the runaway winner. As a first novel, it heralds the arrival of a major new talent – A.N. Wilson, Reader’s Digest 

10) Original, passionate, inventive and uplifting – JOANNA TROLLOPE 11) An original page-turning homage to The Iliad … Miller’s prose is vividly atmospheric, retelling the siege of Troy in all its heroic devastation – Marie Claire
