Circe By Madeline Miller

A BOLD, MESMERIZING EPIC OF WITCHCRAFT, DEFIANCE, AND THE POWER OF A WOMAN’S VOICE.

In the house of Helios, the god of the sun, a daughter is born—but Circe is not like the others. Scorned by her divine family and cast out into the shadows, she discovers a dark, forbidden power: witchcraft. Banished to the secluded island of Aiaia, she hones her craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with some of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the cunning Odysseus.

Madeline Miller’s Circe is more than a retelling; it is a vivid, breathtaking reclamation of a woman’s story. It is a tale of family rivalry, forbidden love, and the price of immortality—a song that burns bright through the darkness of a man’s world. Whether you are a fan of Greek mythology or simply looking for a beautifully written, emotionally resonant novel that will stay with you long after the final page, Circe is a modern masterpiece you cannot afford to miss.
