Circe "is an outstanding work by Madeleine Miller, a pioneering and heartfelt reinterpretation of the myth of Circe, the daughter of the god Helios and the goddess Perseus. This audiobook offers a unique perspective on the life and inner world of Circe, known for its ability to turn humans into animals and its detached life on the island of Ayia.

The story begins with Circe's childhood, when she feels isolated from the gods and mortals. Her journey to self-knowledge and self-determination is riddled with the struggle for her independence and the search for her true destiny. In the course of her journey, Circe encounters great heroes and mythical beings, including Odysseus, and finds love, betrayal, and truth about herself.

Miller masterfully embodies Circe's feelings and experiences in the audiobook, exploring her as a woman who, despite her divine powers, experiences difficulties and searches for meaning. "Circe" intertwines mythology and human emotions, creating a deep and emotionally intense story about finding one's place in the world and accepting oneself.
