From ancient Troy to the potential of AI to improve our relationships, and all points in between, April’s new releases have something for everyone.
From the Booker Prize-winning author of Life of Pi. A modern and imaginative retelling of the epic Trojan War, threading together the lives of a common Greek soldier and a modern scholar in parallel stories of grief, bravery and loss, 3,000 years apart.
‘A brilliant novel of ideas…a powerful meditation on life, death, and the vanity of human wishes, all illustrated by a poem that would do Homer proud. A stunningly imagined revisitation of an ancient past.’ Kirkus Reviews [starred review]
