My goodness. Miller's writing in this, the way she makes poetry out of sorrow and love out of the darkest moments are such a gift. Patroclus, made such a poet when in the presence of Achilles is so beautiful and so tragic. The way they ruin each other softly and kiss each others wounds is so painfully sweet. These two ruined me, and I loved every moment of it.
