In Greek mythology, the goddess and witch Circe lived on the remote island of Aeaea. It was here that she gathered and used her magic herbs to turn men into pigs, and also where she spent a year with the hero Odysseus. Madeline Miller's fabulous novel 'Circe' retells the myth from Circe's perspective.
