martattack reviewed Circe: A Novel by Madeline Miller
Review of 'Circe' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Awesome concept of narrating the Greek myths from the POV of a woman (a witch!). Makes reading Greek mythology so much more enjoyable when it's not mysoginistic af!!! Same cool concept as "The Silence of the Girls" by Pat Barker but muuuch better executed (sorry for bashing Pat). It is beautifully written and gives depth and power to women that have been dismissed for over 2000 years. Also tbh a lovely way to read about Greek mythology and I'll probably never forget the myths that Circe is involved in.
