Madeline at it again with her gut wrenching storiesđ I couldn't put this one down, I was glued to it. It was dark, morbid, and I'm realizing that's my type of shit despite what I believed. It's a little bit more raw than her previous works, so that was jarring at first.
My copy had a little note from Madeline, which just made me love her and this work more.
I still cannot stop thinking about this book help me

TW: Medical abuse, intimate partner abuse, rape, sexual abuse
This was gorgeous and devastating. One of the things I love about Millerâs work is how in grounding mythology in a pragmatic reality the subtext becomes text. The brutal reality of being a woman literally created by a man resonates deeply and reflects the harrowing reality of womenâs relationships with men.
Ruth Wilsonâs narration was (as always) beautifully nuanced, breathing life into Galatea.

There are scenes of forced role play, and the short story ends with a drowning of Pygmalion and Galatea.
