ReviewsPraise for Song of Achilles -- /// "Sharply written, cleverly re-imagined. . . . Incredibly rewarding." -- USA Today "One of the best novelistic adaptations of Homer in recent memory." -- Wall Street Journal Praise for Circe -- /// "A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story." -- Alexandra Alter, New York Times "[A] lush reimagining." -- Ron Charles, The Washington Post "Miller's spell builds slowly, but by the last page you'll be in awe. In prose of dreamlike simplicity, she reimagines the myth of Circe." -- People "So vivid, so layered, you could get lost in it... Whether or not you think you like Greek Mythology, this is just great storytelling. It feels cinematic." -- NPR's Here & Now

SynopsisNATIONAL BESTSELLER An enchanting short story from Madeline Miller that boldly reimagines the myth of Galatea and Pygmalion, now in hardcover for the first time **A small hardcover edition featuring a new afterword by Madeline Miller** In ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece--the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen--the gift of life. After marrying her, he expects Galatea to please him, to be obedience and humility personified. But she has desires of her own and yearns for independence. In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, Galatea is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost . . .
