Galatea by Madeline Miller
5.0
dark inspiring reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

This story is brief and beautifully composed. Galatea (the character) leaves a strong impression. Her narration, her voice, her actions- you quickly get a feel of who she is and the world she's trapped in.
I wanted her to have a happier ending, but that wasn't the point of the story. Her husband's death was quite satisfying, and the description of death grasping her was beautiful- and also satisfying, in a way.
