ABOUT THE EVENT
Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults in their 20s and 30s, will meet online on Tuesday, November 24 at 7:00 PM. The group will discuss Madeline Miller’s award-winning novel, The Song of Achilles. Greece in the age of heroes. Miller paints a dazzling rendering of the Trojan War and the battles between gods and kings, peace and glory, immortal fame and the human heart. Patroclus, awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son, Achilles. By all rights, their paths should never cross, but Achilles takes the shamed prince as his friend. As they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine their bond blossoms more deeply–despite the displeasure of Achilles’ mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. When word comes that Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Patroclus journeys with Achilles to Troy, unknowing of how everything will be tested.
