![]() ![]() I’m also very interested to see if her view on this subject changes at all in the next book. However, this particular lifestyle was expected of women during Ember’s time and she actually fought against it because it’s not what she wanted. I’m actually a homemaker, and I love my decision to be so. Not that getting married and having children is a bad thing at all. She is courageous, strong, and stands up for herself. She is a great role model for girls everywhere. In a time where women are expected to marry and have children (and that is all they are good for), Ember's attitude does not bode well with her father. ![]() You’ve been warned.Įmber is an incredible female lead.

The New York Times thought similarly, writing that Miller's book 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.” Update this section! When it was released, Circe received incredibly positive reviews. There, she hones her craft and goes on an intense and interesting journey. But she does have one ability: witchcraft, something which gets her into a tremendous amount of trouble, as Zeus banished her to an island devoid of life. Throughout the novel ‘The Song of Achilles,’ Miller engages with a number of themes, including pride and belief, and uses symbols that become important to the novel’s progression. Although Circe is a relatively strange and abnormal child - she's neither pretty like her mother nor powerful like her father. Madeline Miller Inspired by the works of Homer, this novel focuses on the relationship between the two men and Patroclus’ attempts to save Achilles from his fate.

So I show up to my desk, to conferences, to webinars, and critique groups. A career in publishing necessarily includes an enormous amount of rejection, and I decided early on to keep showing up no matter what.
