Circe by Madeline Miller F
Set during the Greek Heroic Age and told from the perspective of the witch Circe, the novel explores Circe's origin story and narrates Circe's encounters with mythological figures such as Hermes, the Minotaur, Jason, and Medea, and her romance with Odysseus and his son, Telemachus.
Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.
