🌈 The plot thickens, and it’s time to turn the page together! 📚💜
We’re so excited to invite you to the very first official book club meeting of The Plot is Queer! 🦋✨
For our first read, we’re diving into a book that was the highest rated and highly proposed in our last event, we took that into account and it’s here: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, a beautiful and heartbreaking retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Achilles and Patroclus. Through themes of love, friendship, fate, and war, the novel reimagines a legendary story through a deeply personal and emotional lens. 💫
📖 Your mission: Read The Song of Achilles before we meet, bring your thoughts, feelings, favourite quotes, theories, and questions, and get ready to discuss everything from the characters and their choices to the queer themes and the moments that stayed with you. Essentially you don’t have to read the book, you can also come to hangout and listen.
