Circe by Madeline Miller seemed to show up everywhere I looked. I saw it on the NYT best seller list and in many lists of "best books" for a season or a year.

Review
A nice easy read and a retelling of several myths (at least Jason and the Argonauts and the Odyssey) from the perspective of Circe. Circe is a goddess with little or no power who turns to magic and becomes a witch. The story flows well and the prose is engaging. I particularly recognized the descriptions of Circe's baby as they reminded me so much of my youngest.
