Malouf reimagines a pivotal moment from Homer’s “The Iliad,” exploring the profound depths of grief, loss, and the possibility of redemption. Set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, the novel intertwines the fates of two mourning figures: Achilles, a fierce warrior reeling from the death of his beloved Patroclus, and Priam, the king of Troy seeking to reclaim the body of his son Hector, whom Achilles has slain.
