“The ocean floor was sandy and soft as pillows. I settled into it and slept.”
Madeline Miller managed to give Galatea such a distinct voice in such a short amount of time. She was blunt and cunning and exactly what you would expect a woman who was previously a statue to be like. I really liked Miller’s take on this story, especially the ending.
