NHFT virtual book club - our next read is Circe

Following on from our reading of Brother of the More Famous Jack by Barbara Trapedo, our next novel for the NHFT virtual book club will be Circe by Madeline Miller.

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.

Drawing from Homer's Odyssey, Circe is epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.

“Think a novel based on Greek mythology isn’t for you?  Just wait.  Miller’s spell builds slowly, but by the last page you’ll be in awe.  In prose of dreamlike simplicity, she reimagines the myth of Circe, the sun god’s unloved daughter who went on to invent witchcraft and enchant Homer’s Odysseus."

The next meeting will be Thursday the 23rd of September at 7pm via MS Teams where we will be discussing the novel. You can find the link via the Events Calendar on the Staff Room.

Hope to see you there.
