From the internationally bestselling and prize-winning author of The Song of Achilles and Circe, an enchanting short story that boldly reimagines the myth of Galatea and Pygmalion.
**Featuring a new afterword by Madeline Miller**
In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece - the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen - the gift of life. Now his wife, he expects Galatea to please him, to be obedience and humility personified. But she has desires of her own, and yearns for independence.
In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, she is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost...

Tolle kurze Geschichte.
Ich hätte gerne mehr davon gelesen, obwohl ich weiß, dass die Geschichte genau die richtige Länge hat.
Hinweis zu den eBook Angeboten: eine Ausgabe hat kein Family Sharing, die beiden anderen Ausgaben aber schon. Hatte nicht aufgepasst und leider die ohne Family Sharing gekauft, die zudem auch noch teurer war.
I wished this was a novel...

It's official, I would read anything Madeleine Miller writes. Even with this short story she made my heart ache and gripped me with her writing. She beautifully worked out the mysogyny in the Pygmalion myth and gave it a feminist twist. Absolutely worth the read.
