I loved it (J.K. Rowling)
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)
At once a scholar's homage to the Iliad and startlingly original work of art by an incredibly talented new novelist ... A book I could not put down (Ann Patchett)
Inventive, passionate, uplifting and different ... A truly worthy winner (Joanna Trollope)
