Circe

Madeline Miller’s Circe (2018) is a #1 New York Times bestselling novel that reimagines the life of the legendary sorceress from Greek mythology. Born to the Titan sun god Helios and the nymph Perse, Circe is initially mocked for her lack of divine beauty and her "human" voice. After discovering she possesses the power of witchcraft—a strength rooted in herbs and discipline rather than divine birthright—she is banished by Zeus to the remote island of Aiaia.
