Galatea by Madeline Miller
4.0
"Galatea" by Madeline Miller is an exquisitely written reimagining of the Galatea myth. Miller's skilful prose is hauntingly beautiful to read, offering a modern view on the themes of love, identity, and autonomy the myth originally contained.
Set in Ancient Greece, "Galatea" delves into the relationship between Pygmalion, the sculptor who creates Galatea, and the woman he brings to life. Through lively descriptions, the author explores their connection, highlighting the power dynamics and giving Galatea agency.
I read this before, and you can never go wrong with a Madeline Miller retelling.
