Wausau: Book Club: “Circe” by Madeline Miller

Please join library staff and fellow book lovers for our January book club to discuss “Circe” by Madeline Miller.

Circe is not as powerful as her father Helios, nor as viciously alluring as her mother Perse. 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. Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with many figures in mythology. When Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, she finds herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians.
