Camy Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Madeline Miller has won the last Orange Prize for Fiction - one of the United Kingdom's most prestigious literary prizes - for her novel The Song of Achilles. In the vein of Mary Renault, The Song of Achilles tells the love story of Patroclus and Achilles. A same sex love story winning a major literary prize? Whatever next! W00T!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18267716 Quote Link to comment
