Circe by Madeline Miller is a breathtaking reimagining of Greek mythology told from the perspective of one of its most misunderstood figures. Born to the sun god Helios, Circe is a nymph who discovers she possesses a forbidden power—witchcraft. Feared by gods and mortals alike, she is banished to a remote island where she begins her transformation into a strong, independent woman.

As centuries pass, Circe encounters legendary figures such as Odysseus, Daedalus, the Minotaur, and Medea, while grappling with love, betrayal, motherhood, and the limits placed on her by divine forces. Through exile and hardship, she learns to embrace her power and choose her own destiny.

Beautifully written and deeply emotional, Circe explores themes of feminism, identity, power, and resilience. Perfect for fans of mythology, historical fiction, and literary fantasy, this novel offers a fresh, human-centered perspective on ancient myths and unforgettable storytelling.
