📚 Join us for the SMCC Book Club February discussion of The Song of Achilles

A thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War from the perspective of Patroclus. In this reimagining of Homer’s Iliad, Madeline Miller crafts an exquisitely written love story that begins with an awkward young prince named Patroclus and the legendary warrior Achilles.

Winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction and New York Times Bestseller, this tale combines the timeless elements of Greek mythology with contemporary depth and emotional resonance. Miller breathes new life into the ancient world, using her Classical expertise to conjure the gods, mortals, and heroes of an age past.
