In just a handful of hours, The Song of Achilles will be officially released in the US!  Thrillingly, it has been chosen as a Best Book of the Month by Amazon, and a March Indie Next pick.  There are also some early reviews out, including O Magazine, The Bryn Mawr Classical Review, and the Historical Novels Society.  Here’s a taste of what they said:

“You don’t need to be familiar with Homer’s The Iliad (or Brad Pitt’s Troy, for that matter) to find Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles spellbinding. While classics scholar Miller meticulously follows Greek mythology, her explorations of ego, grief, and love’s many permutations are both familiar and new. —O Magazine, Liza Nelson

“Miller’s debut novel…is a tour de force of history, mythology, politics, and devotion… Readers may suffer from withdrawal as they reluctantly finish this book, and this reviewer hopes to see more soon from this talented author.” The Historical Novels Society, Editor’s Choice Review

“With this novel, we can fall in love again: for Madeline Miller has made blind Homer sing to her… It has the magnificence of myth; it has the passions of humanity.”  Bryn Mawr Classical Review, Catherine Conybeare
