I've been wishing to read this book too ! I'll eventually get to it I thinkrockandroll wrote: ↑03 Feb 2019, 11:38 Madelaine Miller's, New York Times best seller, "Circe" has everyone talking, and it's easy to see why.
Miller takes a relatively obscure Greek goddess from the Odyssey, and gives her full attention in this novel. She takes what is known from classical lit and weaves her own ideas into it.
This book is exciting and very funny.
I'm rating it a 5/5.
Cant't wait to read her Song of Achilles.

While the story could be better, the trio of imaginative cat Chester, reliable older dog Harold, and young dachshund pup Howie, who looks up to them both, is a winning combination. It helps to view this book as more of a "this is what pets might be thinking when they go on crazy journeys and do random things" style narrative.
