Rating: 4.0/5.0
In this novel, David Malouf re-imagines part of Iliad in which Achilles slaughters Hector and desecrates his dead body and Priam (Hector's father) attempts to ransom his son's corpse. In the author's vivid and almost cinematic narrative, the characters are made more human and vulnerable.
