Story
In 1660, Amsterdam is the trading and map-printing capital of the world. Anneke van Brug is one of the colorists paid to enhance black-and-white maps for a growing number of collectors. Her artistic talent brings her to the attention of the Blaeu printing house, and she begins to color for a rich merchant, Willem de Groot. But Anneke is not content to simply embellish the work of others; she longs to create maps of her own. Cartography, however, is the domain of men - so it is in secret that she borrows the notes her father made on a trip to Africa in 1642 and sets about designing a new map.

Story
London, 1814: Mary Godwin and her stepsister Jane Clairmont, both sixteen, possess quick minds bolstered by an unconventional upbringing, and have little regard for the rules. Mary, whose mother famously advocated for women's rights, rejects the two paths that seem open to her-that of an assistant in her father's bookshop, or an ordinary wife. Though quieter and more reserved than Jane, Mary's imagination is keen, and she longs for real-world adventures.

Story
It’s autumn in the town of Harrow, but something besides the season is changing there. Because in that town there is an orchard, and in that orchard, seven most unusual trees. And from those trees grows a new sort of apple: strange, beautiful, with skin so red it’s nearly black. Take a bite of one of these apples, and you will desire only to devour another. And another. You will become stronger. More vital. More yourself, you will believe. But then your appetite for the apples and their peculiar gifts will keep growing—and become darker.

Story
Cilka is just 16-years-old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in 1942, where the commandant immediately notices how beautiful she is. Forcibly separated from the other women prisoners, Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly taken, equals survival. When the war is over and the camp is liberated, freedom is not granted to Cilka: She is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a Siberian prison camp. But did she really have a choice?

How could one person possibly endure all that Cilka did?

Brought me to tears
I have been an enormous fan of Heather Morris' The Tattooist of Auschwitz since it released. Once I found out she would be expanding upon one of its more mysterious characters, I waited with bated breath for Cilka's Journey. I was devastated, heartbroken, and yet also filled with hope while listening to the story of Cilka's life in Auschwitz, and the horrors she continued to endure after the war ended. This is a deeply moving story inspired by a real life person who faced the worst of humanity, yet who maintained a spirit so gentle, humble, and charitable that I was brought to tears multiple times.

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.

Fascinating story, expertly read
- By libragal on 2018-06-20
Madeline Miller is now one of my favourite authors
I had literal shivers as the narrator spoke the last few sentences of the novel. I had fallen in love with Madeline Miller’s beautiful writing in Song of Achilles, and after Circe I had fallen even deeper in love with it. It has this calm, smooth, melodic feeling to it like an ancient poem spun into life. It amazes me how Madeline can carve living, breathing characters out of mythological figures with such realism.
Perdita Weeks was a wonderful narrator, in my opinion, the perfect one for this novel. I did listen to it at 0.8-0.9 speed as it is my preference. I would highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys great writing, and especially if you’re interested in Greek mythology at all.
