Circe by Madeline Miller. This is a tremendous tour de force by the Brown professor, Madeline Miller, who made her mark with The Song of Ulysses (2012). Circe is the retelling of the goddess' story and it's beautiful. The language, the imagery... all of it. Amazing. And, in telling the story of Circe, Miller really tells the universal and eternal story of all women. It's one of my favorite books ever.
