I cannot believe it took me so long to finally read this book. Madeline Miller has had my heart since I read The Song of Achilles years ago, and it is only Madeline Miller who can craft a story that makes me feel the way TSOA and Circe feel. Just as with TSAO, I cried reading this, but not purely out of sadness. I know the story of Circe (classics degree haver), but Miller just has a knack for bringing these tales to light in a way I’m sure bards would be jealous of. This is a story of strength and resilience, and of a woman (though immortal) finding peace with herself. I cannot stress enough how much I loved this.

One sentence. All men are pigs in their true form. 
Circe was led down by her own family but she made one for herself with her glory. Love the character development.
