Books and Book Reading – Circe by Madeline Miller

02/08/2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Person reading a book

A daughter is born in the house of Helios, Sun God and the mightiest of the Titans. She is named Circe and is a strange child. She isn’t like her parents and is scorned and rejected as a result. She isn’t at home in the world of Gods or mortals and grows up in the shadows. But Circe has a dark power of her own, she is a witch. Banished to the island of Aiaia when her gift threatens the gods, she hones her craft, casting spells, gathering strange herbs and taming wild animals.

Those who stand alone are never left in peace for long. She has an unexpected visitor among her island’s guests: Odysseus, a mortal for whom Circe will risk everything.

Circe’s tale is a vivid and mesmerizing epic of family rivalry, love and loss. A defiant woman burning bright through the dark world of men.
