'Ravishingly vivid' EMMA DONOGHUE 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, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

I‘ve never read a book like this one. It shows us Achilles Story from a different perspective in such a unique way. I do have to say though that the writing style was probably the best part of it.
wunderschön

Ich hatte in sozialen Medien oft dieses Buch vorgeschlagen bekommen und es mir nun endlich gekauft. Innerhalb ein paar Tage fertig gelesen, weil es so unglaublich fesselnd und rührend war. Da ich mich relativ gut mit grieschicher Mythologie auskenne, war dieses Buch zwar eher ein "Tennager Buch" aber auch geschichtlich spannend. Große Weiterempfehlung!
