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. 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.
