In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. Circe is a strange child - not powerful and terrible, like her father, nor gorgeous and mercenary like her mother. Scorned and rejected, Circe grows up in the shadows, at home in neither the world of gods or mortals. But Circe has a dark power of her own: witchcraft. When her gift threatens the gods, she is banished to the island of Aiaia where she hones her occult craft, casting spells, gathering strange herbs and taming wild beasts. Yet a woman who stands alone will never be left in peace for long - and among her island's guests is an unexpected visitor: the mortal Odysseus, for whom Circe will risk everything.
So Circe sets forth her tale, a vivid, mesmerizing epic of family rivalry, love and loss - the defiant, inextinguishable song of woman burning hot and bright through the darkness of a man's world.

Daedalus did not long outlive his son. His limbs turned gray and nerveless, and all his strength was transmuted into smoke. I had no right to claim him, I knew it. But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me. (查看原文)

非要说是“女性成长”也有点牵强。就是一个“回到自己”的故事，这比神话还神奇。写得自然流畅，所以对原版纸书也下手了，嘻嘻。总是突然遇到几行震撼人心的字，我要反复看上五六遍。

好久没有读到这么吸引我的原版小说啦！一直对“故事新编”这种题材的书有偏爱。可能是因为我并没有读过《奥德赛》，所以没有那种作者过于ooc的感觉。反倒是还想看看Circe变成人之后的故事，这种从神变为人之间的落差，作者会怎么描写。
