The Librarian's Husband's Book Club discussion

This area is for any discussion about the June 2024 Adventures Abroad book selection, Circe, before we begin reading it.

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--neither powerful like her father nor viciously alluring like her mother. 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.

Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.

But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from or with the mortals she has come to love.

I look forward to reading the book Circe. I have it checked out from my library and it looks like an interesting read.

A little jealous of those of you who are reading Circe for the first time!

I'm looking forward to it. It's one that I likely wouldn't pick typically so that's exciting.

I am halfway through the book and hope to finish it soon.
