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!!! :icon_thumleft:
