Who doesn’t love a good queer myth retelling?? This one has been on our TBR for years. The Song of Achilles is “a tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart” and a “thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War.” This is NOT your mother’s 2003 blockbuster Troy starring Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger!!
