Overview / Summary

“Brilliant reimagining of the life of Circe, formidable sorceress of The Odyssey.”

From the book jacket: “Circe,’ [is] a bold and subversive retelling of the goddess’s story that manages to be both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right.”―Alexandra Alter, New York Times
