An enjoyable retelling, nothing geound-breakingly new but a fun and relatable characterisation of Galatea (the statue)with a satisfying ending.

A lovely, small piece of a feminist rework of a story that originally didn’t even give the abused fmc a name. I think Miller writes extremely eloquently and has a style that paints such a vivid, beautiful picture. My only downside is that I wish it had been longer, as there was a lot of prospect with this.
