A novel to be gobbled greedily in a single sitting

Observer

Circe is poised to become the literary sensation of the summer, as much for the quality of its writing as its timeliness

Sunday Times Magazine

Enough magic, enchantment, voyages and wonders to satisfy the most jaded sword-and-sorcery palate. Miller approaches Odysseus's story from Circe's point of view, richly evoking her protagonist's overlapping identities as goddess, witch, lover and mother

Adam Roberts, Guardian, Books of the Year

A triumph

The Times, Books of the Year

Circe back as superwoman … Homer's witch get a kickass modern makeover… Miller's Me Too-era, kickass portrait of a woman trying to defy the men and Fates arrayed against her is enchanting… Blisteringly modern

The Times

In a thrilling tour de force of imagination, Miller makes her otherworldly heroine a complex, sympathetic figure for whom we cheer throughout. Circe is a truly spellbinding novel, the mesmerising shimmer of ancient magic rising from it like a heat haze
