It is one of my favorite books ever and it completely broke me at the end and it gives Circe's story a complete new light.
HISTORICAL FICTION BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS ✨ from ancient greece to 1960s america!
There's just a unique charm about this that is so purely Philippa Gregory because she manages to transport you back into the court of, you know, the royal family in Plantagenet England. So, this is an incredible book.
So, Madeline Miller is fantastic and if you've not read her yet, I would start with The Song of Achilles, which is her first book, but Circe is also just incredible.
So, I was completely new to it and it is probably one of not only one of my favorite historical fiction books, but one of my favorite books just in general.
You can tell this author just has read Austen in and out because the detail is there, the writing is brilliant, but also Mary's character is become fully fleshed out that often she isn't in Pride and Prejudice because, of course, the story is about Elizabeth Bennet.
I absolutely loved the writing. The writing is beautiful.
