Circe: The Sunday Times Bestseller Review Circe is the utterly captivating, exquisitely written story of an ordinary, and extraordinary, woman's life (Eimear McBride, author of A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing)An incredibly talented new novelist (Ann Patchett)In Circe, Miller gives depth and history to the title character, how it was she came to be on her island, and her struggles as an independent woman. The "heroes" of Greek myths - the gods, Odysseus and so on - get shoved to the side, as Miller brings to the forefront a fascinating, captivating female character. This is wonderfully detailed and well worth the more than five year wait since The Song of Achilles (Stylist, The 20 must-read books to make room for in 2018)A captivating retelling . It's a hard book to put down (Donna Tartt, The Times, Christmas Books on The Song of Achilles)A masterful re-telling of The Iliad, but looking at the hidden stories and the shadows beneath (Kate Mosse Sunday Express)A more than worthy winner - original, passionate, inventive and uplifting (Joanna Trollope, chair of the judges for the Orange Prize for Fiction 2012)Only the finest of historical novelists are able to adequately convey the sheer strangeness and otherness of the past, particularly the ancient past . Remarkably fresh (The Times)Miller's prose is more poetic than almost any translation of Homer . Deeply affecting (Observer)Not least of Miller's achievements is to reanimate this vision of the divine in prose that is simultaneously modern and true to its source (Tom Holland New Statesman)Page-turning . Nothing strikes a false note in her intricately created world (Guardian) 				    	 					 Book Description 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               See all Product description
