About this product
Product Information
When I was born, the name for what I was did not exist. Circe is the daughter of Helios, the sun god, and Perse, a beautiful naiad. Yet from the moment of her birth, she is an outsider in her father's halls, where the laughter of gossiping gods resounds. Named after a hawk for her yellow eyes and strange voice, she is mocked by her siblings - until her beloved brother Aeetes is born. Yet after her sister Pasiphae marries King Midas of Crete, Aeetes is whisked away to rule his own island. More isolated than ever, Circe, who has never been divine enough for her family, becomes increasingly drawn to mortals - and when she meets Glaucus, a handsome young fisherman, she is captivated. Yet gods mingle with humans, and meddle with fate, at their peril. In Circe, Madeline Miller breathes life once more into the ancient world, with the story of an outcast who overcomes scorn and banishment to transform herself into a formidable witch. Unfolding on Circe's wild, abundant island of Aiaia, where the hillsides are aromatic with herbs, this is a magical, intoxicating epic of family rivalry, power struggles, love and loss - and a celebration of female strength in a man's world.Product Identifiers

Absorbing and wondrous
A compelling, vivid retelling of the Circe myth - full of wild beauty, drama, gorgeous prose, mythological fury and revenge. Madeline Miller has a sparse, poetic style that brings every page to life. An absolute gem!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A five-star read
Miller adds depth and detail to this single character from The Odyssey. She weaves other portions of Homer’s tale into her rich landscape of Circe’s island exile, and then leaps into new adventures with the characters she has createdVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
