Circe has always been a minor goddess in Greek mythology, but in this book, she shines bright as the star of her own tale. Told in her trademark lyrical prose, Madeline Miller weaves a tale that is at once familiar and brand new. Here finally is the opportunity to live life on her own terms. So when she displays an affinity for witchcraft and is exiled to a remote island, she jumps at the chance. They, in turn, have never ceased to remind her that she is the lesser daughter of greater sires. Though she is a goddess born to the almighty sun god Helios, she has never desired power nor indulged in vanity and cruelty the way her family does. "Next time you're going to defy the gods, do it for a better reason."Circe has always known that she does not belong.
