Book Review – Circe

Cover image for Circe [large print] / Madeline Miller.

By Madeline Miller.

Fans of Greek mythology stories are going to love this one! In this novel Circe, the witch known as the villainous seductress from Homer’s Odyssey is recast as a victim of the corrupt society of the Gods, doing all she can to make a home and find herself. Powerful, poetic, and not afraid to show the ugly parts of womanhood.

A retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a ‘sting’ in the ‘tale’. Well written, with engaging characters, part one of a series.
