Though I know she wrote it before getting Long COVID, I couldn’t help but connect the rage and despair of Galatea begging the doctor to believe her with the millions having the same fight today.

familiar with the story of Pygmalion, but this book is making me realize that I have never thought about the story from Galatea's perspective. Madeline Miller's short story provides a more realistic version of Galatea's marriage to Pygmalian. Miller's writing in this short story was beautiful, and I thought the ending was perfect.
Graphic: Sexual violence and Child abuse
Moderate: Death
