To all those broken hearted readers of The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller she also wrote the stunning Circe which not only is an amazing tale but it has heavily influenced my writing for the better - nothing I’ve recently put out though.
Miller has such a way with words that makes me feel like I’m listening Lana Del Rey or in a Romanticist indie movie. Incredibly embellished, beautiful while heart wrenching. She’s such an inspiration, I’ve read both books twice and bought them just to have and read forever.
So if you haven’t read her first book or haven’t heard of it or her then give Circe a read and I promise it won’t disappoint.
