This is the book for you if you wish to read …

… a melancholy retelling of the myth of Circe.

… an elegant, vivid prose that describes everything in intricate detail.

… a story of a woman trapped in a life of fate, constantly seeking validation through the love of others, and at the whim of the men in and out of her life over the centuries.

… a story about misogyny, familial abuse, and the poor treatment of women over the centuries through a modern retelling of Circe.
