3.0

I had never heard of the story of Galatea and her trash husband before reading this short story, but I’m so glad to know it now (especially her version compared to Ovid’s for obvious reasons)! Madeline Miller continues to prove herself as one of my favorite authors to read, and I love her storytelling of Greek mythology

Also I had trouble rating this bc it was so short, but overall I enjoyed reading it and learning about Galatea , so I feel like a 3 is reasonable (but it still might be too low idk???). If it was longer, like her other books, the rating might have been higher but idk. Okay that’s all, goodbye now
