Ransom by David Malouf
Ransom

bibliofille, January 1, 2011

A beautiful retelling of King Priam's efforts to ransom the desecrated body of his son Hector from the Greek warrior Achilles.

Ultimately, the story is a poetic and moving exploration of loss, honor, humility, and familial love. Highly recommended...
