Madeline Miller does it again, and this time in a short story that grabs me from the first sentence and doesn't let me go. Galatea is fierce and even though she was conceived as something else she is a full wwoman with her own agenda and she will fight till the end to have it. Miller's themes condensed to the maximum, but so worth reading and this edition with the illustrations is amazing.

It's so short, but entirely wonderful. I actually wish I'd read the authors note at the end first, because it really hammers the story home. MM knocks it out the park as always.
