Evening Book Group

Join us for our next meeting! We are reading Circe: A Novel by Madeline Miller. Copies available at the reference desk.  For more information contact Kiki at kbutler@coventrylibrary.org or 822-9105.  

Circe is not powerful like her father Helios, nor viciously alluring like her mother Perse. 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. Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many figures in mythology. When Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, she ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians.
