NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR . In the
house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a
daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--not powerful,
like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning
to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that
she does possess power--the power of witchcraft, which can
transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.
But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and
Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods,
ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most
terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she
loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once
and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from,
or the mortals she has come to love. With unforgettably vivid
characters, mesmerizing language and page-turning suspense,
Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of
family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a
celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.
Characters: 85. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
