Circe by Madeline Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"I thought: I cannot bear this world a moment longer.
Then, child, make another."
What a joy to read an epic with a strong female character where, populated with dozens of heroes and divinities, the most human and frail are the ones who are truly admirable. Written with laconic grace, Madeline Miller has the gift of saying much with a few words. Both ancient yet contemporary, this story celebrates the infinite in us. A modern classic!!!!
