The Natural Way of Things [electronic resource]. Charlotte Wood. Author: Wood, Charlotte. -- Piper, Ailsa. Publisher: Rearsby, Leicestershire : Wavesound from W. F. Howes Ltd, 2016. Review by: serenejean on: 11/11/2024 8:17:40 AM Member Rating: Gripping no! Tiresome yes. It's a long confected tale of misery - impossible to believe that such abuse could happen without any oversight of the authorities. Author wallows in the descriptions of abuse.For believable descriptions of abuse read 'Black Convicts'. Gripping yes!

Circe / Madeline Miller. Author: Miller, Madeline, author. Publisher: London Bloomsbury Publishing, 2018. Review by: hayden on: 20/10/2023 12:40:32 AM Member Rating: Circe a failure as a divine but a success as a witch with the power of transformation of turning men into swine. Madeline Miller places her within the Greek pantheon of gods and episodes that have inspired ever since. Prometheus punished for bringing fire to mortals because fire was a change Daedalus the inventor dreaming of escape Minos and the minotaur and her part in the story of Odysseus is changed to his part in the story of Circe. Circe feels trapped by her divinity never changing and wants to join the world of life which transforms itself until death. The scholarship is exquisite as is the telling of the story from Circe the naiad who becomes Circe the witch who becomes Circe the mortal.
