CIRCE

Circe by Madeline Miller reimagines the life of the powerful sorceress from The Odyssey. Born to the sun god Helios, Circe lacks her parents’ power and allure, but discovers her own gift for witchcraft. Threatened by the gods, Zeus exiles her to a deserted island, where she hones her magic, tames wild beasts, and encounters legendary figures like the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus, Medea, and Odysseus. Facing the wrath of both gods and men, Circe must choose between her divine heritage and the mortal world she has come to love. A tale of family, love, loss, and female strength, Circe is an epic, immersive retelling of mythology.
