MAGAZINE, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT, AND WASHINGTON POST From the
Orange Prize-winning, internationally bestselling author of The
Song of Achilles comes the powerful story of the mythological witch
Circe, inspired by Homer's Odyssey Chosen as must-read book of 2018
by the Guardian, i, Mail on Sunday, Sunday Express and Stylist In
the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a
daughter is born. But Circe has neither the look nor the voice of
divinity, and is scorned and rejected by her kin. Increasingly
isolated, she turns to mortals for companionship, leading her to
discover a power forbidden to the gods: witchcraft. When love
drives Circe to cast a dark spell, wrathful Zeus banishes her to
the remote island of Aiaia. There she learns to harness her occult
craft, drawing strength from nature. But she will not always be
alone; many are destined to pass through Circe's place of exile,
entwining their fates with hers. The messenger god, Hermes. The
craftsman, Daedalus. A ship bearing a golden fleece. And wily
Odysseus, on his epic voyage home. There is danger for a solitary
woman in this world, and Circe's independence draws the wrath of
men and gods alike. To protect what she holds dear, Circe must
decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from, or
the mortals she has come to love. Breathing life into the ancient
world, Madeline Miller weaves an intoxicating tale of gods and
heroes, magic and monsters, survival and transformation.
