This was such a beautiful book covering the life of an immortal goddess who is an outcast herself.

I think the best way to describe this is as 'the story of a woman learning to live in a world ruled by men and gods'. Its about Circe finding her place when she has no one, and finding her own strength when she is powerless.

I really enjoyed it. And I can't believe it took me this long to read it.
