Welcome to Litsy!

Just loved this retelling of Achilles and Priam‘s truce. David Malouf can be difficult (try teaching Fly Away Peter to rowdy adolescents!) but this book is an easy read and yet so so eloquent. The characters and the times just live on and on in your mind. And now I have discovered Madeline Miller! Historically happy!😁

Twenty pages and bailed, maybe it was the use of present tense or the sense that this was a retelling. Either way there is not enough time in life to read books that do not capture me by the twentieth page. 😕

Had to read this book for school and didn't really like it. Not huge on Greek mythology.

About to start my first school book for the year! I have set myself the task of reading each of my 3 books in 3 weeks and a bit! This weeks challenge is 35 pages a day of this one! I'll update as I get along!

Just a few photographic #silhouettesoncovers. I especially like the Ransom cover 😂

Currently reading Ransom by David Malouf.
The writing in this is breathtaking. Certainly a worthy addition to my ever-burgeoning Greek Classics shelf!
