This is a super short retelling of “the woman” from Pygmalion. It’s more like reading one chapter from an anthology than a whole book. The amazing Madeline Miller is on point, as usual. I loved her afterword, detailing more about the original story, retellings, and what the deeper meanings are truly about. Don’t hesitate to read this!
