Honestly I wasn't convinced that a retelling of a Greek myth was going to be for me, but Madeline Miller beautifully modernizes the language without taking away from the magic and the escape. The writing is exquisite and the story of Circe's life and her powerful voice will be with me forever. She feels so real, like your badass witchiest friend.

“This remarkable journey into mythology brings the ancient gods directly and viscerally into the present. Circe is a perfect mashup of elegant language, glorious storytelling, and exquisitely modern sensibilities. Miller's telling left me awed and moved by Circe and her story, all while wishing I could invite her over for a glass of wine on the porch. How this amazing author so perfectly melds the human and the divine, creating a story both immediate and epic, is dazzling.”
