Such a great read! I read this on a whim and was absorbed immediately. Madeline Miller has a way of writing that sucks you in. Circe follows the titular character through her life. WAnd, what a journey it is. I knew very little of Circe outside of the fact that she was the mother of one of Odysseus' son that he sired in his long return trip home to Ithaca. This book takes Circe and expands upon that fact. She's a daughter, sister, mother, and so much more. The final chapters dragged on a little for me, but the payoff in the end was worth it.
