Circe by Madeline Miller
πŸ“– 393 pages
Genre: Greek Mythology β€’ Retelling β€’ Literary Fiction

Summary:
Banished to a lonely island for daring to defy the gods, Circe grows up in the shadow of power she was never meant to wield. From the halls of Olympus to the shores of her exile, she encounters legendary figures, monsters, and mortals alike, slowly discovering her own strength in a world ruled by cruelty, pride, and divine politics.
Richly atmospheric and deeply human, Circe reimagines Greek myth through the eyes of a woman finding her voice. It’s a story about transformation, loneliness, love, and choosing your own fate, even when the gods would rather you stay small.
