In Circe, Madeleine Miller tells a well-known myth from the point of view of a woman who has often been misunderstood. Circe is no longer just a strange witch in a man's story – here, she becomes the main character. Miller shows her as strong, smart, sometimes lonely, and very human. What makes the story especially exciting is how Circe changes over time. At first, she is unsure of herself. Later, she becomes brave and independent. Her relationships with Odysseus, her son Telegonus, and even the sea monster Scylla feel real and emotional. The author gives new meaning to many parts of the old myth, especially when it comes to Circe as a woman, mother, and outsider. At the end of the book, there are thoughtful questions that invite readers to reflect more deeply. They touch on topics like identity, power, love, and the role of women in ancient stories. Great for book clubs or personal reflection.
