Praise for Song of Achilles — ///
“At once a scholar’s homage to The Iliad and startlingly original work of art….A book I could not put down.” — Ann Patchett, author of The Dutch House
“Sharply written, cleverly re-imagined. . . . Incredibly rewarding.” — USA Today
“Wildly romantic [and] surprisingly suspenseful....[B]ringing those dark figures back to life, making them men again, and while she’s at it, us[ing] her passionate companion piece to The Iliad as a subtle swipe at today’s ongoing debate over gay marriage. Talk about updating the classics.” — Time
“One of the best novelistic adaptations of Homer in recent memory.” — Wall Street Journal
“Powerful, inventive, passionate, and beautifully written.” — Boston Globe
Praise for Circe — ///
"Circe,' [is] a bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story that manages to be both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right." — Alexandra Alter, New York Times
"One of the most amazing qualities of this novel [is]: We know how everything here turns out - we've known it for thousands of years - and yet in Miller's lush reimagining, the story feels harrowing and unexpected. The feminist light she shines on these events never distorts their original shape; it only illuminates details we hadn't noticed before." — Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"Miller's spell builds slowly, but by the last page you'll be in awe. In prose of dreamlike simplicity, she reimagines the myth of Circe." — People
"So vivid, so layered, you could get lost in it... Whether or not you think you like Greek Mythology, this is just great storytelling. It feels cinematic." — NPR's Here & Now
"The story of Circe's entanglement with Odysseus lasts far beyond the narrative of "The Odyssey," making for compelling material to revisit. But ultimately it's as a character that Circe stands apart....Through her elegant, psychologically acute prose, Miller gives us a rich female character who inhabits the spaces in between." — Colleen Abel, Minneapolis Star Tribune
