Circe

Circe is a fiction novel which is written by Madeline Miller. She is an American author who is highly regarded for her The Song of Achilles title which took a decade to be completed, while at the same time, she was teaching Greek and Latin.

The audio narration of Circe is done by Perdita Weeks. She did it pretty well while capturing the complete personality of Circe with perfection.

A daughter was born in the house of Helios and the mightiest of Titans. She was named Circe. She was a very strange child as compared with the other kids of her age. She was not so powerful, which is what she inherited from her father, and she was also not viciously attractive, something that she inherited from her mother. But, she soon discovered that she had some special powers. Those were especially the power of witchcraft which could transform any of the rivals into monsters.

She felt threatened and was then banished to a deserted island by Zeus. That was the place where she honed her occult craft. She used to tame many of the wild beasts and also crossed paths with some of the most desirable personalities in ancient mythology.

But, that relocation for her came with a range of challenges and dangers too, especially for a woman who stands all alone. Circe drew the wrath of gods and men, while she discovered herself pitted against one of the most vengeful and terrifying of all the Olympians. That was the time for Circe together all of her strength and take the ultimate decision…

This is the highly anticipated follow-up of The Song of Achilles, the bestseller in NYT. It came out in 2018 and the audience had a great time with this epic that spanned thousands of years.
