The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Description

In February, UWE Bristol Library is hosting LGBT+ History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about LGBT+ history, issues surrounding stigma, and people's personal experiences.

We'll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we'll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories. If you find a book, it's yours to keep.

This book giveaway features The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. The Song of Achilles follows the journey of Achilles and his true love Patroclus from boyhood into the depths of war.

Throughout the book, Patroclus' tender nature is contrasted starkly by Achilles developing godhood, this fundamental clash brings both characters alive in this faithful portrayal of the Mythology of Troy.
