Comments

KM: Really happy to finally read this, but was disappointed that my new copy had tears in a page. And it wasn’t from the packaging as it was very snug in the box. A little disappointed, but still excited to read.

Kindle Customer: What an epic saga. I love how Madeline brings this mythology to such clear and vibrant life! She made it possible to see each mortal and immortal, their strengths and weaknesses, and what would be their undoing or triumph. I love how this saga wove through a hundred generations and the interconnectedness from beginning to end! I will not add any spoilers, just follow her journey and read the book!

Billie Potter: After reading “The Song of Achilles”, I knew Circe would be worth it. Madeline Miller is able to make a reader feel the character’s emotions!

KLM: I wish Madeline Miller wrote more books about the Greeks. I took this book to Mexico with me and it was the best poolside read! I highly recommend!

NikkiTikkiTavi: This story is both enchanting and horrifically fascinating, just as good Greek drama should be. Circe's story is beautifully written and gorgeously interpreted by Madeline Miller. I absolutely adored this story of a woman finding her identity and coming into her own power on her own terms.

I was absolutely spellbound by Circe and her adventures. Her ever-changing role in her dysfunctional family of deities is an astounding transformation. She had me cheering and tearing up for her strength of character and her courage to take on life as it came at her.

I have never been one to get pulled in by mythology, but Madeline Miller makes me want to go back and read some classic literature. Bravo for her fresh take on this age-old story.

Ines S.: Je ne connaissais Circé que via l'histoire d'Ulysse, bien sûr.
J'ai adoré ce livre, adoré le personnage, et adoré l'écriture de Madeline Miller.
Je le recommande beaucoup.

Perfume lover: Even if you have never been acquainted with the classics, or the Greek and Roman gods; even if you don’t know that Prometheus was made to suffer so we mortals could have fire, this book will charm you and obsess you and keep you reading way past the time you should have left for work.

Here is Circe: sea nymph with witchcraft. She longs for a lover. And she poisons her competition. She clings to her brother, a mortal with the power of Gods. We feel her loneliness and her desire. She wants a lover.

The author is a professor of classics. She decided to tell the story of the siege of Troy, the Trojan horse, the hero Achilles, and his powerful goddess mother.

The author reimagines the gods and the warriors and the kings as being just like us: they lust, they envy, and they suffer. Kings and Gods we feel should know better, go to war for the wrong reasons; they steal, and they lie. Yet their life loves, their heart pains, their infidelities, attachments and longings, tear our hearts too. We root for them as we turn the page. We long for our heroes to prevail. Our hearts bleed for Achilles’s mother. This is after all her son.

josé Guadalupe de la Luz Gómez Villarreal: no puedes dejarlo

Mexico on Jun 25, 2023

Luiza Mattos: Mais um livro da autora que deixa algumas histórias da mitologia grega mais acessíveis para o leitor - ainda que não seja por isso que deixe de abordar temas mais pesados e sombrios com maestria.
Você pode ter certeza que vai lidar com personagens complexos que, embora não sejam um exemplo de virtude (e nunca pretenderam ser - estamos falando do período clássico!), são verdadeiramente os heróis das próprias histórias. Madeline Miller sempre entrega histórias emocionantes, oferecendo uma perspectiva diferente, mais simpatética, para aquelas figuras da mitologia que tradicionalmente apenas servem como uma nota de rodapé, ou um empecilho na história dos guerreiros imortalizados nos mitos.

Me emocionei, gargalhei e até chorei conhecendo essa Circe que, antes de qualquer coisa, amava com tudo de si.
