Galatea by Madeline Miller

4.0

Short and highly satisfying. In this short story, Miller made me think of Galatea in a Gothic Victorian Sanatorium (though I can't say how the author herself pictured it when writing). I found the setting refreshing and perfectly eerie. Once again Miller gives voice to the women who are a nameless footnote in mythology's great texts and I love her for that. I would also highly recommend the comprehensive Author's afterword about how the story came to be, if you can find an edition that features it (I imagine they all would).
