Hi Bookworms,
Did you read any works of Madeline Miller?
I did :)
Three years ago I had The Song of Achilles in my hands and deemed it very interesting, Greek mythology based story and gave it strong 4 stars as I enjoyed reading it. It's a romance story of Achilles and Patroclus. Story of Achilles who against being hotheaded bully and 'pain on the..' is capable to love, has sense of humor and like other human beings is conflicted inside.
Few days ago I finished reading Circe, Ms Miller's another book based on mythology and gave it 4 stars. Beautifully written story about a god Helios' daughter who was bullied since her infancy until she found out about her gift to witchcraft and was banished by Olimpians to the island of Aiaia. It's a story of love, loss and rivalry and woman who wants to make her own decisions.
I didn't have a chance to read Galatea and Heracles' Bow - short stories - yet, but I'm planning to find them and read them too :)
Till next post!
