Circe

I really enjoyed this book.

I picked it up to read during a week holiday in Greece, I thought it would be fun to learn about some Greek mythology while I was there.

It was - but this book was fun so far beyond just learning about ancient mythology, this was a well-drawn portrait of a deep and complex evolving character.

This book doesn't just tell us about Circe, it takes us along with her on her journey.

After Song of Achilles, this one disappointed me. It felt like a collection of short stories and oh my, so many characters and names to remember.
