I swear this is Madeline Miller’s world and I’m just living in it. This woman could write a book about literally anything and I would read it ten times over.
If you’ve read The Song of Achilles, you’ll love Circe too!
Also, Madeline Miller is so good at using a phrase and then reusing it again later except that it takes on new meaning in the context of all that has happened and it just smacks you in the best way.
I hope that made sense.
