Circe / Madeline Miller

You’re in for a real treat with this book, as Madeline Miller weaves a rich tale of Circe, a young girl born to a God and nymph. Despite her parentage, Circe is neither powerful, nor alluring - so how did she become the feared witch of Aiaia? I really enjoyed this book, as Madeline Millers wonderfully descriptive language made the mythology come alive. It is easy to believe you are there alongside Circe to bear witness to her story. This was a real page turner! I will definitely be adding Madeline millers A song of Achilles to my to be read list.
