a page-turner abt a woman's extraordinary life filled w/ oft-startling wisdom and language that brims w/ power. whether it be the world of gods or mortals, men rly aint sh!t. ive never cared abt greek mythology but it was quite interesting to read abt it here, as miller spins a retelling w/ keen observation and great reinvention. circe's musings and realizations and relationships--some so breathlessly touching, some quite jarring in their truth--are prolly my fav part of the book. a great, thought-provoking read--and from now on i'll read anything madeline miller writes.
