In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child, not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. 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.

Really quite a great book

I haven't read anything else by Miller (yet), but this came highly recommended by a variety of folks I trust.

I don't think this is a book you love for the plot, it's mostly just stuff happening linearly. The real magic here is the writing, and the writing is good.
