Story
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Publisher's Summary
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2019
From the Orange Prize-winning, internationally best-selling author of The Song of Achilles comes the powerful story of the mythological witch Circe, inspired by Homer's Odyssey.
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe has neither the look nor the voice of divinity and is scorned and rejected by her kin. Increasingly isolated, she turns to mortals for companionship, leading her to discover a power forbidden to the gods: witchcraft.
When love drives Circe to cast a dark spell, wrathful Zeus banishes her to the remote island of Aiaia. There she learns to harness her occult craft, drawing strength from nature. But she will not always be alone; many are destined to pass through Circe's place of exile, entwining their fates with hers. The messenger god, Hermes. The craftsman, Daedalus. A ship bearing a golden fleece. And wily Odysseus, on his epic voyage home.
There is danger for a solitary woman in this world, and Circe's independence draws the wrath of men and gods alike. To protect what she holds dear, Circe must decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from or the mortals she has come to love.
Breathing life into the ancient world, Madeline Miller weaves an intoxicating tale of gods and heroes, magic and monsters, survival and transformation.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Amazing writing, beautiful narration! Loved it!
I've always been interested in mythology and the concept of witchcraft. So when I heard of this book I knew I had to read it sometime soon. And I'm so glad I spent my credit on this one. Its beautifully written, transports you into another world. There were too many beautiful moments to be bookmarked. Honestly, this one's a treat! I laughed and I cried but more than that when Circe felt powerful, I felt the power in me, I was always trying to look for danger signs for Circe, anticipating what comes next. Loved it and now is over. Now coming to the narration, Perdita Weeks 😍 Oh. My. God. In the middle of the book I searched for any other books that she has narrated but I was disappointed to see there were only a couple others. Now I'm unable to decide which book to spend my credit on next, one that I have wanted to read for a long time or one whose co-narrator is Perdita Weeks. I guess that should say it all about how much I love the narration.

A myth made new
The book places front and center a woman who has been pictured in mythology as a seductress waylaying innocent travelers and using her power to create monsters. But Miller’s Circe is different and therefore, isolated and abused. But she is also a woman of agency, who eventually scripts her own life and learns to live on her own terms in defiance of gods and goddesses. Miller rewrites her story almost entirely, changing even the end. And it is a story I enjoyed thoroughly. Bewildered by where her life takes her, Miller’s Circe comes into her own after she is exiled. Little by little, she learns her own power, what she can and will do, and to what she will say no. I think, it might well supplant the original myth in my mind because I like this one so much better.
A brilliant pace and some skillful writing make this tale thoroughly enjoyable. Although it troubled me that Miller does not allow for the re-imagining of many other women. Pasiphaë, Scylla, Medea, Athena, all fulfill their original mythological destiny with little to redeem them. Penelope seems like the only exception, but her rather late appearance in the book leaves little room to get to know her well. It’s also a little troubling that Daedalus is almost saintly in this tale, with no mention of the mythical tale of him killing his nephew, a young prodigy who he was worried would emerge as a rival.
The highlight of this read for me though was Perdita Weeks. This was my first Audible book, and I discovered why the listening app is so popular. The quality of the book is brilliant. Weeks’ narration is magical. Weeks seemed to have employed some witchcraft of her own to inhabit the skin of Miller’s Circe effectively and powerfully. I think, Weeks played a strong role in the imprint the book left on me.

Truly spellbinding
A treat to the ears and a truly magical experience. Every word weaved into its rightful place to create a magical tale of the great goddess Circe.

Enchanting, heart touching, lovely read!
Don't miss it. It's a beautiful book ! Fantasy, Greek gods, (almost) common trials, beautiful storyline. And the narrator's voice brings it to life.

A beautiful story of wisdom and growth
This was my first time listening to an audiobook, and what a book. What an endearing story of a woman with uncensored struggles. You understand where she goes wrong, and how she grows from it. It was an inspiring book.

Serene Storywriting!
I did not think that it would be such an enjoyable journey. The story has it ups and downs but the author keeps you bound. Offering more in every chapter. Urging you to go explore the characters in greater detail. I would say a perfect end to a perfect story
