From the internationally bestselling and prize-winning author of
The Song of Achilles and Circe, an enchanting short story that
boldly reimagines the myth of Galatea and Pygmalion. **A small
hardback edition featuring a new afterword by Madeline Miller** In
Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a
goddess who has given his masterpiece - the most beautiful woman
the town has ever seen - the gift of life. Now his wife, he expects
Galatea to please him, to be obedience and humility personified.
But she has desires of her own, and yearns for independence. In a
desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control,
she is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and
nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break
free, whatever the cost... _________________________ Praise for
CIRCE 'A thrilling tour de force of imagination' Mail on Sunday 'A
bold and subversive retelling' New York Times 'A novel to be
gobbled greedily in one sitting' Observer 'A remarkable
achievement' Sunday Times
