Circe
(Back Bay Books)Madeline Miller’s Circe hit the shelves in 2018, following up on her heartbreaking, ugly cry inducing, gloriously and Greekly tragic Song of Achilles – an LBGT fantasy tale that will go down in history as one of the greatest modern myths. Miller’s second novel Circe takes an equally emotional stab at The Odyssey, centering the action around the original myth’s secondary antagonist whose favorite pastimes include turning men into pigs. How did the sea witch Circle get started in her sailor to swine-making career? Well, first she got exiled from the halls of Helios for using witchcraft agains a rival (who deserved it tbh) and forced to live out her immortal days on a remote island. Her punishment from the gods turned into a blessing in disguise, as Circe is now free to spend her endless days experimenting with the magical plants and herbs that flower upon the desolate shores – until a crop of sailors come along with Greek hero Odysseus in tow – then things get complicated.
