i cannot believe we’ve got a 5 star book 7 weeks before the end of the year. what a save and OF COURSE it’s from madeline miller!!!!!! who else was gonna swoop in and save the day?? this book was genuinely incredible and it fell into my lap at the exact time i needed it, if i read it any other time it wouldn’t have had the same kick. an absolutely gorgeous telling of a character so misunderstood and brushed aside, demonised, if you will. circe i would die for you and i know you wouldn’t for me, but that’s okay. every element of this book worked perfectly and i have missed madeline miller’s one-liners and off hand and rare humour so badly that i didn’t even realise at all. odysseus you will always be an enemy of the state. penelope and circe, this one’s for you🙏🏼
