An interesting little morsel. Feminist retelling of the Galatea myth. Just a short story but published as a standalone book.

Very, very quick read but beautiful and impactful. It really resonated. I wish it were longer so that I could continue to get invested in the story, but I do think the length of it added to the impactful nature of the story

i expected to love this but didnt :/ madeline miller’s prose is usually my fav, although this time i did not really enjoy it. it was also weirdly vulgar? i wasnt crazy about the story either. overall, not my fav.
