Amy Federman’s Reviews > The Song of Achilles > Status Update

"Over us, every second, hung the terror of Achilles's destiny, while the murmurs of war among the gods grew louder. But even I could not fill each moment with fear. I have heard that men who live by a waterfall cease to hear it—in such a way did I learn to live beside the rushing torrent of his doom." Miller is an exquisite writer. The casual poetry in her prose is a joy.
