Madeline Miller once again shows her beautiful prose with this short story about Galatea. For a story of only 50 pages, Galatea has a lot of depth and does an amazing job tackling a dark theme. Unfortunately, to me 50 pages are still too little to reach the amount of depth I search for in stories, so I cannot rate this one higher than 3 stars.
