Is the Miller the same as In the Armor of Achilles but with a title change? I note that Publishers Weekly stated:

"Ecco's Lee Boudreaux bought U.S., Canadian, and open market rights, at auction, to Madeline Miller's debut, In the Armor of Achilles. Julie Barer, at Barer Literary, handled the deal for the novel, which is set during the Trojan War and narrated by Achilles' lover, Patroclus. Pulling heavily from Greek mythology, and The Iliad in particular, the work delves into the relationship between the two men as Patroclus follows Achilles into battle. Ecco is planning a summer 2012 publication, and rights have also been pre-empted in the U.K., where the book was acquired by Bloomsbury."

You're on the ball as ever, DP! I don't know for sure, but it sounds like it.

Sadly, you are right, Julie!
