Heartbreakingly beautiful. If you love Greek myths and history, this retelling is a deeply human rendition of love, war, and everything it takes to have something written about you thousands of years later (and what won’t be told in your story).

Soooo good! Best book of my year so far, sad that I didn't read it sooner tbh. I have circe on my shelf now and can't wait to dive into it. The way she writes is so enjoyable but also elevated in a way

Do you know those times when you finish a novel and the first thing you do after finishing it, is wiping the tears brimming in your eyes, and the second thing you do is surf to your favourite online book store and order every other title on offer by the same author? Yeah. This was one of those novels. Hits you like a goddamn brick, even when you are well versed in the story of the Iliad.
