A review by anitaconchita
Circe by Madeline Miller

5.0

I actually listened to this as an audio book, and I LOVED it. I found this retelling of the story about this very minor character in the Odyssey to be so welcome and enjoyable. It was gloriously witchy, and feminist, and enthralling. I tend to have a lot of trouble finishing audiobooks, often because I get annoyed with the narrators, but Perdita Weeks was such a joy to listen to. I listened to the book while sewing masks during the pandemic, and found myself spending hours sewing so I could listen to the book.
