"When despair for the world grows in me..."

“He is half my soul, as the poets would say.”

— Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

I just finished this one. I’m a little embarrassed admitting I had never read it before. So good. It’s hard to describe the feeling it evoked in me. A combination of happiness and sadness and of despair and hope for humanity. All wrapped in one. #booksky 💙📚
