Short and sweet. Mini revenge of a woman no longer accepting misogynistic tyranny by her husband/creator.

Short and brief but just as detailed as any large novel. It had me craving more of the story. But it’s a miniature masterpiece in communicating a clear picture in so few words. A perfect balance of storytelling in its shortest form, and vivid enough without overbearing the readers senses and mind into creating their own details along the way. I hope she writes more novels and writes more short stories to boot.

Lettura “rubata”, nel senso che l’ho letta direttamente in libreria. E per fortuna direi, perché altrimenti sarebbero stati 15€ spesi decisamente male.
Non mi è piaciuta la rivisitazione della storia, non mi hanno fatta impazzire le illustrazioni, il prezzo è decisamente caro per il prodotto. Inoltre, per essere una rivisitazione femminista del mito devo dire che si mette proprio d’impegno per distruggere tutte le figure femminili che non siano la protagonista (vedi l’infermiera e la governante)
Si vede decisamente che è il primo lavoro dell’autrice, non lo consiglio. Iniziate da La canzone di Achille e continuate con Circe. La Miller migliora ad ogni suo lavoro
