 Madeline Miller is on my immediate purchase list now. This story is a masterpiece: emotionally resonant, romantic, tragic. The setting and characters leap off the page and move into your brain where they proceed to live rent free between opportunities to read. Just an incredibly moving, absolutely phenomenal story.
