Prepare to be enthralled by the international literary sensation that has captivated over 3 million readers worldwide. This Orange Women's Prize for Fiction winner has graced the bestseller lists of both The Sunday Times and The New York Times, earning accolades from literary luminaries such as Donna Tartt, J.K. Rowling, and Emma Donoghue.

Transport yourself to ancient Greece, where heroes roam and legends are born. Follow the tale of Patroclus, a socially awkward prince exiled to the court of King Peleus. There, he encounters the king's son, the seemingly flawless Achilles. Despite their stark differences, an unlikely friendship blossoms between the two young men as they hone their skills in warfare and healing arts. Their bond deepens into something more profound, much to the chagrin of Achilles' mother, the formidable sea goddess Thetis.

The abduction of Helen of Sparta sets in motion a chain of events that will test the very foundations of their relationship. As Achilles answers the call to arms in distant Troy, Patroclus finds himself torn between love and trepidation for his companion. Little do they know that the ensuing years will challenge everything they hold dear.

Madeline Miller's "The Song of Achilles" is a masterful retelling that seamlessly blends mythology with raw human emotion. This unputdownable tome has been lauded as "an exciting, sexy, violent Superman version of The Iliad" by The Guardian, while Bettany Hughes describes it as "sexy, dangerous, mystical". Immerse yourself in this spellbinding narrative that will leave you breathless until the very last page.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
