In this novel, Madeline Miller reimagines the life of Circe, the daughter of the Titan sun god Helios and the nymph Perse.
Circe, who is neither as powerful as her father nor as alluring as her mother, finds her own path through the discovery of witchcraft.
After being banished to the island of Aiaia by Zeus, Circe hones her magical abilities and encounters various figures from Greek mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus, Icarus, Medea, and Odysseus.
The story explores themes of identity, love, loss, and female strength in a patriarchal world.
Circe's journey is marked by her transformation from an outcast to a powerful goddess who must choose between her divine heritage and her love for mortals.
