This story builds on the story of Pygmalion - in short, a sculptor sculpts the perfect woman out of stone and falls in love with her, and hearing his pleas, she is turned into a human by Venus and they get married etc.

This story follows what happens next and Miller has done a good job dissecting what is quite a sexist story into a short story about the woman in the centre of the story.

I really liked how some of the issues where addressed, and really felt for Galatea, despite the length of the story.

I do feel like more could have been said and the story could have been longer but as it is, I enjoyed it.

If you enjoyed Miller's previous work, check this one out!
