Achilles and Circe, an enchanting short story that boldly reimagines the myth of

**Featuring a new afterword by Madeline Miller**
In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who
has given his masterpiece – the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen –
the gift of life. Now his wife, he expects Galatea to please him, to be
obedience and humility personified. But she has desires of her own, and yearns
for independence.
In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, she is
locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a
daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost...
