The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

ipsita's review against another edition

5.0

I'm suffering, I'm crying so much (*_*)

I don't think I'll ever be able to move on from this... This book was just so beautiful, I don't have enough words for it, but one thing for sure you'll feel too much, love it too much after reading it and you'll be sucked into this beautiful world of love and friendship, written so brilliantly and with so much care by Madeline Miller. I wish I had read this book earlier, but I'm glad I did it now. I enjoyed every single word and phrases, and pages of it, and I wish I could stay between those beautiful moments forever & never leave. Oh how I wish I could do that now :'(
