Started and finished this while waiting for the NS ferry. Yeah I am so annoyed at NS.
Anyway Galatea is just quite okay like it’s a feminist retelling that discusses objectification and the masculine need to dominate and other such topics intertwined with gender. There isn’t the poetic language that one might find in other Miller works, though.

Madeline Miller has become an auto-read author for me. As I was reading, parts of the plot and character development reminded me of similar themes explored in Circe. Though I wish it was a tad longer, it was a gorgeous and impactful short story nonetheless. And man, does Miller know how to stick a landing at the end of her texts. The ending for this this and her other two novels are simply perfection.
